Non-notable individual lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. ttonyb (talk) 14:28, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete No references, short stub, non-notable, improper format for Wiki, etc., etc., etc. The only link is to the individual's own website. Nineteen Nightmares (talk) 16:26, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Nineteen Nightmares[reply]

I placed links to Projekt30, Tampa Bay Business Guild and the Dirty Show. The diry show alone, by their estimates, receive 6-10k entries per year and for him to be selected among the 2k artists to exhibit is quite a feat. Those sites are not owned by the artist. The artist is well known in the leather and fetish community in Tampa and Chicago, but not mainstream. I don't think he would care if the article was deleted, I only did it because as a member of that community in Tampa, I would like to see him get more exposure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.65.121.238 (talk) 17:05, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the projekt30 site and found no reference to this individual. References are supposed to be independent articles or announcements, such as a newspaper article or other legitimate online reference that directly focus on the subject of the article. Not a casual mention in some other capacity, such as "he showed his work at a show" and the promoter published an ad that is being used as a ref. I suspect the other two are similar in that he was involved somehow, but is there something tantamount to a published article solely about him that can be referenced? If not, this subject will not make the cut as Wikipedia has distinct guidelines about exactly what will satisfy the notability requirement. Additionally, Wikipedia requires at least two published, legitimate references and often the editors around here will not allow that few. This article will need serious attention, esp. regarding the references to avoid being deleted. Nineteen Nightmares (talk) 00:46, 4 June 2010 (UTC)Nineteen Nightmares[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete When the only link that can be mustered is to the personal website of a working artist, chances are there's some flacking going on. Written like an ad and it probably is. Carrite (talk) 01:49, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
