 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a non-notable artist who's exhibited his work in a handful of places but whose real "claim to fame" is that he once made some collages, then paid the notorious Canadian vanity press, Trafford, to publish a book of them. Clearly, these are not the qualifications for a notable article, as he fails WP:BIO and his vanity book fails WP:BK. Qworty (talk) 20:55, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Non-notable, no sources.Renee (talk) 21:43, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment: I don't think the choice of a book's printer/vanity publisher should be a consideration unless the work is being presented as anything other than self published. Significant references or reviews by mainstream or (more likely) reputable industry/trade pubs meeting WP:RS would contribute to establishing notability for this person, but how the book got published shouldn't matter unless it's notable in itself. However, as Qworty says, there are no independent published sources (at least none easily found online) to establish artist's notability. Flowanda | Talk 01:05, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
