[edit] Shawn Scallen

Questionable notability. ghits: [1]. NMChico24 08:19, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak delete. The photographer doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO, although the article does assert mild notability through newspaper articles. --Brad Beattie (talk) 09:31, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Scallen is a well-known figure with a 20-year body of work in the alternative press. Auto movil 03:43, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Can you provide references, preferably something outside the local area which might indicate wider notability? Thank you! --NMChico24 07:16, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Shawn is a well known person within not only the Ottawa punk/indie scene, but the whole North American punk and indie rock scene. Shawn is the leader of the independent music scene within Ottawa and can almost make or break your band..—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.198.153.128 (talk • contribs) — Possible single purpose account: 69.198.153.128 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other contributions outside this topic.

OK, Delete. Yup, that was Shawn Scallen, he also e-mailed me to ask me not to try to list him on here. (I penned the article.) Well, I wash my hands of it, someone can delete it. Dan Carkner 06:07, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
