[edit] Baron Wolman

Try as I might I can't see where the claims are that this character meets WP:BIO. Unencyclopaedic in tone, and cone that is fixed there is virtually no verifiable data, and of that none seems to establish notability. Just zis Guy you know? 10:55, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep and cleanup, as he seems to be the first photographer of Rolling Stone [1], a notable magazine --TBC^{??? ??? ???} 10:59, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but cleanup style. Nearly 70000 Google hits, several books at amazon.com and [2] claims "Wolman’s photographs have appeared in virtually every U.S. magazine from Time to Playboy to Vogue and beyond." Gu 12:47, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Important and well-known popular culture figure; he was Annie Leibowitz before Annie Leibowitz was Annie Leibowitz. Monicasdude 14:43, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. He looks notable as he was working for Rolling Stone. --Terence Ong 15:07, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, cleanup and LOL... This concern is why I tagged it to begin with and even took the time to write something on the Discussion page. There's an article in there, it just needs the PRish crap taken out. Bobak 16:22, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Follow up: There were some CP concerns, I have taken time to rewrite those portions (roughly) and remove them. Bobak 17:25, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment: OK, this now has an assertion of notability, and the copyright violations are gone. Which is an improvement :-)

Comment: I'm the one who made the entry. There were confusing problems that led to a duplicate entries so I'd feel fine about everything being deleted and starting all over again, as long as someone doesn't come along and, without doing any research, figures since he hasn't heard of Baron Wolman he doesn't belong in Wikipedia! Feel free to remove all the duplication or whatever. It looks like you've determined that Baron Wolman is a worthy inclusion. You removed the photo which his assistant took. I was confused by all the rights choices, so please advise what to put for the image if the photographer is the copyright holder, period. Thanks! User:Scribblerman 17:32 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment: The photo must be released under a free license. I would suggest either GFDL-self or public domain if you, the uploader, own the copyright. If you have specific questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page.
