Subject failed to meet the relevant notability guideline Note, I copied this deletion rationale from a PROD on the article made by the AfD tagger, 2600:8800:7185:2500:5d36:9e75:c092:f448 (talk · contribs). Monty ₈₄₅ 03:19, 2 November 2016 (UTC) [reply]

Ed Ross was recently killed in a motorcycle accident, he has thousands of fans all over the world, he was a Master Wet Plate artist specializing in nude photography. Many consider him the best the world has to offer. He has had many exhibitions, many articles written about him. He is so very relevant. Please reconsider. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Balkowitsch (talk • contribs) 18:30, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep as nobody here is asking for deletion. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:42, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

wiki idk how this page saving works but please, please, please don't take this page down. Ed was known globally for his tintype photography and has been featured in magazines, zines, blogs, galleries and even donated his work for SPCA fundraisers. It would be wrong and unimaginable for his page to not exist on wiki, as he truly was one of the greatest tintype photographers of our time. He was also an incredible person and was very generous and thoughtful to those he cared for. From the most infectious smile ever to a timeless portfolio, Ed will severely be missed by fans, friends and family. Dja320 (talk) 01:07, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This photographer has a notable body of work followed by both photographers and non-photographer's alike. As time passes I anticipate many people will want to find more information about him. This page is a good start. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthew@voorsanger.net (talk • contribs) 01:52, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Note This AfD was not created properly. I have fixed the formatting, copied the deletion rationale from the article history, and listed this at AfD. Normally I would suggest giving it a week after listing, but this could probably be closed sooner. Monty ₈₄₅ 03:19, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
