Previously deleted article brought back after userfication w/o anything concrete to show for it. No photography books published, awards won, well-known photographs, inclusion in anthologies, or anything else that makes a photographer of note. Main editor — major COI — claims notability on presence of work in museums per additional criteria in WP:CREATIVE (is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums, or had works in many significant libraries), but only three claims can be substantiated and these only through a catalog card, search engine, and a list with over 3,000 names. Per WP:BIO's "Basic criteria," I would argue such sources don't contribute toward notability in the same sense that primary sources don't (no coverage involved). Only independent secondary coverage demonstrated is left over from previously deleted version: a review in PF Magazine that backs up nothing of note (mainly bio info) and a few sentences in a book on having discovered Christie Brinkley. The rest of the sources are self-published, don't verify the text, or primary. Mbinebri talk ← 15:37, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
