[edit] Mike Butler

Looks like he does nice work, but not sure he is prominent enough at this point in his career to be listed in Wikipediia

• Comment The author needs to demonstrate the influence the artist has had on his peers and/or the critical appraisal that has made him notable. -- (aeropagitica)  22:16, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: That's all very well. Do you, however, have any third-party sources (i.e. not associated with yourself, Mr. Butler, or Mrs. Kamerbeek) which provide verifiable evidence that Mr. Butler is notable and meets the consensus for inclusion of biographical articles? Specifically, is his work "recognized as exceptional and likely to become a part of the enduring historical record of that field"? Stifle 13:35, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete as no claim to notability. Stifle 13:16, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Change to Strong delete as part a ring of three articles created by the same people, the only references to each one are the other two. Stifle 13:30, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Who cares. It looks like Wikipedia is becoming just another elitist organization. Go ahead and cook in the stew of your own self-importance. Delete me. Mike Butler.

• Delete Even M. Butler concurs as to his non-notability. Atrian 00:25, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
