[edit] Christopher Wajda

Not notable, does not meet WP:BIO — in particular "Painters, sculptors, architects, engineers, and other professionals whose work is widely recognized (for better or worse) and who are likely to become a part of the enduring historical record of that field".

• Delete - fails WP:BIO specifically as per nom. Jpe|ob 01:40, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep - Allow me to explain my reasons. Firstly, there is no doubt that this article meets verifiable standards, which is a key policy of Wikipedia. In this website, it is stated that the subject in question received public recognition for designing the official seal for Bensalem Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania in a city wide juried exhibition. Moreover, it is stated here that he has won many awards and competitions for his graphic design. His graphic design and fine art has also been featured in regional and national venue and has also receieved public recognition for his work. There is no doubt that the subject's work is widely recognized. However, on a side note, I am not sure whether he would achieve an enduring historical record for his work. Thus, in conclusion, this article barely touches the surface of WP:BIO. This is the reason why I have the opinion of Weak Keep. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 03:29, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep per Silva. I agree that it barely passes WP:BIO. Agne 06:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, even if designing the seal for a small town puts in the "enduring historical record," his work is not widely recognized. Andrew Levine 09:49, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Unless making illustrations for a red-linked newspaper gets notability, I say delete. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 11:57, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Obscure, except in self-promotion. Out!!! --Brianyoumans 12:01, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I don't believe that winning a contest to design the seal for a township is necessarily notable. Additionally, the two links cited above look more like press releases by the subject than anything else. Other references I've found for him are similar "submit your press release" type of thing. In lieu of any other evidence to the contrary, I don't believe the subject warrents an article. ScottW 17:37, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
• keep I consider him notable Igbogirl 18:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Not sufficiently notable. Less than 1000 Google hits, and the website, though appealing, has no indication of press or fame aside from the subject's own marketing. --Elonka 18:24, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. per nomination as not notable. He is a very local artist, and his only apparent claim to fame is having designed the emblem of his township. 123 unique Google hits: except for wiki and mirrors, are only directory listings or copies of press releases he has issued.
