 * Bryan Wharton -- A British photojournalist TheMindsEye 03:01, 5 January 2007 (UTC) And one whose article is so badly written it's quite amusing. Needs to have  templates slapped all over it, at the least. -- Hoary 07:03, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * removed copyvio and spam, added comment to talk page - does appear notable, but the article still eneds work Brian 09:42, 13 June 2007 (UTC)btball


 * Peter Berlin, purported to be a very celebrated gay photographer, notably of himself. -- Hoary 14:21, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Eugenio Recuenco -- Hoary 10:19, 17 January 2007 (UTC) .... Prodded Hoary 10:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Scarlet Page (previously deleted via AfD). -- Hoary 15:48, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * tagged as db-repost Brian 09:42, 13 June 2007 (UTC)btball
 * See AfD. Deleted again. -- Hoary 10:30, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Flore (photographer) Pinkville 00:54, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * copyvio, tagged as such - entire article was simply a translation of one page at her website, no assertion of permissionBrian 10:12, 13 June 2007 (UTC)btball
 * Technically speaking, the page that's allegedly the source is such a pile of ordure that my browser won't show a single word of it. I can't even see any text when I look in the source; perhaps it's added via Javascript or other gimmickry. -- Hoary 10:30, 13 June 2007 (UTC) PS but some other thoughtful person compared the two and deleted the copy. -- Hoary 10:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Karen Graffeo -- Hoary 16:48, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Graffeo has an upcoming solo called “Let Us Now Praise the Rom” at SACI Studio Art Centers International - Florence Palazzo dei Cartelloni in Florence Italy 1-30 March, 2007 with artist lecture there 22 March. Artsojourner 05:58, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Brian Ulrich seems to be one of those earnest photographers who has attempted to raise boringness to an art form. Well, good for him, if it's true that all those museums take it seriously and pay good money for it. However, this edit -- in which we learn that Ulrich spent one week living in UIUC Residence Halls [...] He lived with the students for a full week (a full, whole, entire one week, please note) -- may be telling: Brian Ulrich hopes to continue promoting himself and spreading his name. -- Hoary 23:34, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * N. A. Diaman PRODded, and deservedly so (though not by me). -- Hoary 12:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Brandon Mathews -- TheMindsEye 14:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Katerina Jebb -- Hoary 14:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * LeeAndrew Giabenelli-Cavette II, whose very first sentence informs us that he is not merely a photographer but a "master photographer". -- Hoary 03:46, 6 March 2007 (UTC) Prodded -- Hoary 11:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thomas Barbèy takes photos and sells them. Exhibited (other than for sale)? Published? -- Hoary 10:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC) ..... Prodded Hoary 10:04, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Andrzej Dragan‎ for whose achievements evidence is not (yet) provided) -- Hoary 03:37, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Dogstar Photography - PRODed on 3/12/07 TheMindsEye 15:31, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Zoriah -- Hoary 12:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC) Since which time great claims have been made for Zoriah, with the appearance of evidence. But the evidence tends to evaporate very quickly. -- Hoary 02:05, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Altafqadri, quite coincidentally created by User:Altafqadri. -- Hoary 12:43, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hendro Soetrisno, an admirer of photography and member of several photo groups. TheMindsEye 17:45, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Deleted as a copyvio of this. And if it hadn't been a copyvio, it would have been a prime candidate for AfD. Incidentally, a copy appeared as "Seeing landscape"; this too was deleted as a copyvio, but could have been a speedy, having already been deleted as spam for a website. -- Hoary 00:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Errol sawyer TheMindsEye 02:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * tagged as db-bio ... no assertion or evidence of notability, only google hit was to the Wikipedia page ... Brian 09:42, 13 June 2007 (UTC)btball

 * Brian Wood (artist): smells very fishy. -- Hoary 23:52, 29 April 2007 (UTC) PS the article is still a mess, but the subject is definitely legit. -- Hoary 10:04, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Frank Stefanko. There's something worthwhile here, despite the main author's best (?) intentions. See the recent edit history. -- Hoary 23:07, 23 July 2007 (UTC) ... PS seems OK now -- Hoary 09:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

 * 'Pioneers of photography' This is not an article, but a category. I recently removed Sam Haskins from the category, reasoning that a contemporary photography is not really a pioneer.  The article's main editor, didn't like the removal arguing that Haskins has as much right to have the category as Bill Brandt.  I don't really know the best definition of a pioneer and would appreciate the input of other editors.  For now, the discussion is on the Sam Haskins talk page.

 * Angelo Valentino: very obscure, yet very important (we are told). -- Hoary (talk) 14:39, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Jane Fulton Alt. There's something to this, but every slightly odd bit I've so far looked out has turned out on inspection to be even odder than I'd imagined. -- Hoary (talk) 09:50, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
