[edit] Chris Nelson (photographer)

Chris Nelson (photographer) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

This was spun off, apparently, from content in Bear community or something like that, but I'm not sure it merits its own page. I tagged it for speedy, but it was contested... I brought up the following concerns on the talk page:

  • The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person- sources? A google search only turned up the politician.
  • In addition, for authors, which you've added: Published authors, editors and photographers who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work. - can you direct me to independent reviews? And Amazon.com-esque and user-submitted ones don't count. He has not so far responded to these concerns. Dåvid ƒuchs (talk • contribs) 16:31, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Lack of proper sources and highly questionable notability. Furthermore, the article is written as if it was lifted straight from promotional materials and may possibly also have copywrite problems. --The Way 06:30, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. The article has been improved since it was nominated for deletion. --Eastmain 22:38, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
It still suffers from a total lack of proper sources so it still needs to be deleted. --The Way 02:32, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Lack of sources is not a valid reason to delete an entire article. The fact that this man's work has had a book written about it seems to me to make him notable. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 13:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Lack of sources is absolutely a valid reason to delete an article. Read the policies -- if it's not WP:Verifiable with reliable sources, then it's not appropriate. /Blaxthos
No, an article must be verifiable not verified. If an article is notable, than it should be kept, and any non-sourced information removed. Read the policy before claiming you know what's in them. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 10:04, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
