Is this photographer notable? This short article has little more than weasel words. Rtphokie (talk) 19:08, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete not so much weasel words as virtually no words. RMHED (talk) 19:37, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Keep per Paularblaster's addition of practically everything. RMHED (talk) 00:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. A year ago Wikipedia talk:WikiProject History of photography#Hotlists was listing this as an article that was needed ... Now they seem to have someone has set up a bot to create automatic stubs of the 328 most famous Japanese photographers - he's one of them - and its running wild. Still, he's a Japanese photographer people will actually have heard of. To give perhaps the most accessible aspect of his work for us non-Japanese: Naito did the sleeve photography for several Miles Davis' albums, including the Pangaea_(album) (there's a specimen in the article). I've done a bit to flesh it out already, and I've given WikiProject History of Photography a nudge to sort themselves out. Paularblaster (talk) 00:35, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • I'm very reluctant to disagree publicly with Paularblaster, who has done an excellent job on this article, but the regular denizens/members (countable on your fingers) of "WP HoP" were as surprised as anyone to observe the sudden appearance of all these substubs. We plead innocence! -- Hoary (talk) 01:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
    • My apologies for the unfounded accusation. Paularblaster (talk) 02:02, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
      • Fine, fine. I raise my smaller glass of Orval to you. -- Hoary (talk) 05:31, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per vast improvements made by Paularblaster. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 01:46, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Yes, he's notable. Yes, Paularblaster has done a good job of showing this. Yes, he could be shown to be more notable. I'll do this myself, but the demands of the "real world" will delay my start. (A good-faith proposal by Rtphokie, though.) -- Hoary (talk) 01:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep He is notable. Oda Mari (talk) 05:13, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Comment, wow, great work Paularblaster, lots more useful information in this article now. Thanks for clearing the confusion up and improving the article. I think this discussion can be closed now.--Rtphokie (talk) 20:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
