  • *Weak Keep, appears to have [http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F60D17F9395D1B728DDDAF0894D0405B818AF1D3 won an award] but I don't know whether the award itself is enough to meet notability. There's some other [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Sam+Wu%22+photographer&btnG=Search+Archives&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&um=1 RS coverage] if someone wants to dig.

  • Weak keep The photographer's Playboy work is significant enough to be in a 2005 anthology. He photographed three centrefolds: [http://daggy.name/cop/bkofdead/pboyphot.htm]. I'm not sure what that means - a bit outside my expertise.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 00:20, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. The award he seems to have won does not appear to be sufficient to meet the notability guidelines, and this article has a lack of verifiable third party sources that establish his notability as sufficient to warrant an article to himself.

  • Delete - This guy had a job, that we know. He may have been good at it, that we don't know. Was he extraordinary? Nope. Nothing to suggest that he was a notable photographer of centerfolds, unless just doing the job makes you notable. Triple3D (talk) 01:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I have just discovered (honest) and added Sam to :Category:Playboy photographers, now 11 strong, though his 3 gatefolds do not compare strongly to an average of ?10+ - figs per his 2nd ref. i suspect a delete. Johnbod (talk) 04:16, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
