Vicky Brago-Mitchell
A photographer and creator of digital art whose only specified claim to notability is having taken and been credited for "all the pictures for a Japanese-language gardening book of plants cultivated in Japan, published by Shobunsha, Tokyo, 1975". If this is 晶文社, it's a prestigious publisher; but a search in the online catalogues of the Japanese national library and the Tokyo central library for books by "Brago" (or either of its likeliest katakana forms, ブラゴ or ブラーゴ), which I infer was her surname at the time, shows nothing. Googling for this person brings up a lot of stuff, but all of it seems to be either (a) Wikipedia or its commercial scrapes or (b) written by her or promotional or both. Thus what is written here is not verifiable. In addition, I see no evidence that she comes anywhere near satisfying the "notability" requirements for a photographer, viz Published ... photographers who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work; this of course is not damning in itself but I also see no alternative factor here for notability. Thus she also seems non-notable. -- Hoary 04:14, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Even if the gardening book was verifiable, there's no claim to encyclopedic notability in this article. She's married to a composer who may be notable, but that's not enough for her own article Bwithh 04:25, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Being a pro photographer, just like having any other job, is not a claim to fame.  Ned Wilbury 15:14, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
