Silhberpapier
Page about a living photographer, or artist, full of information that is not verifiable: if notable, a person such as this would be expected to be mentioned in many web pages, but Google provides for "samuel silhberpapier" only WP pages and Silhberpapier's own sites. (There's a whiff of vanity about this article.) -- Hoary 05:54, 2 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete - There's no assertion of notability. jmd
 * That notion doesn't fully square with this, as it might be argued that photographers (or self-described artists) are somehow inherently important to society. -- Hoary 06:08, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * What part does it not "square" with ? Indeed it 'might be argued' (WP:WEASEL), and I wouldn't necessarily disagree.  Similarly, builders, grocers, computer scientists and janitors are all 'inherently important to society'; society would be worse off without them. Ipso facto all people (except salesmen) are notable. jmd
 * Society would be worse off without university students, too; because without them there'd be no graduates, and with no graduates much fewer people would be equipped to deal with complex issues. Still, being a student is not in itself notable. Being an artist might be held to be notable, whether or not you or I value the average artist more notable or more useful than the average grocer. Anyway, the only criterion I can see to speedy this article is for the unremarkability of its subject; while I don't think this should raise the issue of vanity, it does raise it; and while I strongly suspect vanity I can't prove it. Thus the admittedly tiresome rigmarole of AfD. -- Hoary 07:14, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't understand how you duduce that students cannot (by virtue of being a student) notable, but artists by virtue of being an artist can be. jmd
 * Speedy delete under A7. The closest this comes to an assertion of notability is winning an art project award in high school! Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:35, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
