: Keep - Looking at the earlier nomination that was closed as a Keep, nobody seems to have incorporated the cited sources into the article - despite the closing request that someone do so to avoid this article being renominated! So per earlier discussion, sources exist and significantly, despite a couple of initial delete votes, once the sources were raised, subsequent votes were to Keep. This article needs improvement, not deletion. Mabalu (talk) 14:41, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

:: Nobody? *heaves deep sigh* OK, revised article up now. The sources cited in the other AFD were kinda crappy, but I found loads more, and I think now sufficient notability (and there's plenty more sources out there) has been demonstrated. I'd say this guy is definitely a keep now. Mabalu (talk) 12:31, 9 January 2014 (UTC)


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

  • Keep. The article now doesn't look promotional. I've verified the claim of one book from Schirmer Mosel and one from Stemmle; both are publishers of good photobooks, and so the biographee is notable. -- Hoary (talk) 14:39, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 19:26, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
