A photographer whose photos have verifiably been used by a maker of camera bags (as have the photos of many other photographers) but whose other claims to significance are unsupported. The article was created by an SPA a year ago, hasn't been significantly improved since, and doesn't seem likely to be improved any time soon. Hoary (talk) 04:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Seems to meet notability criteria, but could be improved and better referenced. Pinkville (talk) 15:57, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep He seems notable, but it needs some sources. Voyaging^(talk) 19:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, lots of professional photographers routinely photograph somewhat notable subjects, but this does not confer notability onto the photographer. The mention of Mensa membership hints that this article is self-promotion. Truth be told, I don't even see much assertion of notability in the mostly unsourced text.

• Delete No proof of any significant recognition to meet WP:BIO. IFEA, Emergency Beacons, and Lowepro seem to be minor "in house" recognition. Some significant critical BIO or review is needed. Lack of sources means "delete" -- if such sources are added, can become a "keep". Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 18:15, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per several; a non-notable pro photographer. Not even an assertion of notability. Johnbod (talk) 02:12, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
