unsourced, and doesn't seem to be have many possible sources [1] -Docg 23:53, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete or cite sources to demonstrate notability. --Absurdist 01:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as probably hoax if no sources found. Since the article claims that "His work alone has won many honors, including: Southwest Press Photographer of the Year; 14 regional Emmy Awards; 2 Edward R. Murrow Awards and more than 70 Regional and National Awards" and that he has been "a speaker internationally, at numerous universities" there should be abundant sources in the event that this is true, and they are the sort of things that would be in Google. . That he exists is shown by the only non-WP ghit: [2] in which he won a regional second place in a regional photojournalism contest. DGG 02:15, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, looks like hoax, fails WP:V, WP:RS. PeaceNT 15:46, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Not a haox to me. After looking through other websites I've found awards for Photography and notable events stated in the main body of text - this info is information needed to be added, seems like a known source in television.

Adding the sources to the article might convince someone AlfPhotoman 20:43, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Additionally found hits all over google as possible sources[17] and update a few things. Think someone should cleanup. 18:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Keep and clean up... many of the links on the page don't work (or are in foreign languages) but he does appear to be -notable.Balloonman 05:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The person apparently satisfies WP:BIO even if the information was hard to find. -- Black Falcon 19:41, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
