This person just doesn't seem notable per WP:BIO, and is not covered by multiple independent sources per WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:50, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as a Google search reveals thousands of hits for his name. Subject is definitely both notable and verifiable. elektrikSHOOS 17:49, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I can't see anything much in the article but a man doing a job. It looks like a plug for his web activity and curated books - or as Amazon prefer to say, he is the 'editor' of them. The badatsports reference contains one brief mention in an article about someone else altogether. I am not much more impressed by the other refs I've looked at - one of the Hearty ones being merely a sort of CV list or profile list. The Hearty interview looks a bit better, but as I don't know who Hearty are, I'm not sure of the notability gained there. "Hearty is set to be the prime destination to indulge in fashion, music, art and culture" (from their LinkedIn profile) doesn't seem to indicate that they are there yet. There may be notability in Barber, but it isn't demonstrated in this article for me. Peridon (talk) 18:55, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep It appears he does get some media attention. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Eudemis (talk) 21:21, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Telegraph is a single mention in passing; photosapiens looks good; advancetitan might be if I were more sure who and what they are; nysun is a single mention; nytimes is single mention, but better than the other singles; not too happy about the other nytimes.

- Question He has recently curated a series of five photography books -- Does this make any sense? (Since when have books been "curated"?) -- Hoary (talk) 23:20, 13 July 2010 (UTC) .... Answer Got it: Aperture published five books of stuff from tinyvices.com. I've edited the article accordingly. -- Hoary (talk) 23:43, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Eudemis. Not clear cut by any means, but if we can assume that advancetitan is reliable, these look like just enough coverage for WP:BIO. Alzarian16 (talk) 18:17, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
