Wedding photographer (auto) bio. Essentially a padded resume, claims to notability are not enough to pass WP:CREATIVE; the photo in the New York Times only accompanies an article about a wedding, and the Wedding Photojournalist Association's contest lists him as coming in at 11th place. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 20:25, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. -- Hoary (talk) 23:55, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete getting a phot in the NYT is not enough to be notable. If he had been their photographer for celeb weddings for several years it might be a different story. If he had been photo for lots of celebrities it might be different. Coming in 11th in any contest rarely makes one notable, coming in 11th in a quaterly contest seems to almost say the individual is below average, definately nothing to make one notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:40, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
