Joseph Chen[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Biography of a photographer. He's attended prestigious schools and worked with celebrity models, but that is not enough to confer notability. His exhibitions at notable venues might have been enough for WP:GNG but I can't find any coverage of the exhibitions in reliable sources. bonadea contributions talk 10:03, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - apart from the Italian editorial already cited, I can't see any significant news coverage, in English, Italian or Spanish. I'd expect to find something if Chen was a well-established widely known photographer. Currently fails WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. Sionk (talk) 13:34, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep he is notable photographer , and I added now another source in English about him which is Hollywood Weekly --Mohamed Ouda (talk) 19:25, 12 December 2012 (UTC) .[reply]

Comment The Hollywood Weekly article has a brief mention of Chen - this is not significant coverage and notability is, unfortunately, still not shown.. --bonadea contributions talk 17:11, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not notable. If he becomes notable and meets the criteria in WP:GNG he should have an entry but not before then.--Phazakerley (talk) 20:42, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Searching is difficult as the name is not uncommon (there are quite a few Joseph Chens out there, including another photographer who does weddings) but what I could find was basically self published/promotional, very little third-party, let alone reliable.
