Comment I flagged this article as an autobiography when it was created. However I left it like that after finding and adding the reference to the National Portrait Gallery, London archive. In terms of this AfD, much possibly depends on the level of selection involved in the NPG archive and so whether it is sufficient to demonstrate notability.

Keep I located various references, mainly via Highbeam which I couldn't access when first checking last March. While there are still a couple of unverified claims, I reckon there is enough to pass notability. AllyD (talk) 21:14, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Lacks reliable sources. In each case the reference is simply a mention, usually as part of a long list. There is no coverage of this person at all.--Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 21:21, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Regarding AllyD's mention of the unverified claims, I have also added more sources for his work one of them being The Fairtrade Foundation photo shoots in which he has photographed several stars. Granted, this article could use more information such as how he started in photography but I think the article passes notability for now. SwisterTwister talk 21:41, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- if his work features significantly in the National Portrait Gallery, I would consider him notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:27, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Largely improved, since nominated. It has reliable sources and seems to pass GNG. Looks notable enough to have an article here. — Yash ^[talk] 03:55, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
