I have been on FOX 13 which used my Expertise in a matter, I find it insulting that you say the awards a minimal (unless it was against 3 people the odds are fair that its a minimal award) I challenged thousands in ArtFest 97 plus I don't know any award that is a GIVEN, you have to work for it and be the best and I was and you're telling me it was lame (HOW INSULTING), Are you in FL, do you know how big these events are? I won 1st place. My work allowed me to be chosen to photograph our 44th President during his stop in Tampa. I am showing in a international event in San Deigo, I have meetings with Galleries in St. Augustine next week to show my work. I see people in here that have less than I do, and are not flagged. Are you NOTABLE enough? Who defines notable. My idea of notable, and your idea of notable is obviously quite different. My work was written about in the laker, they are NOT online, there for I had to make a .pdf of it. I have a few articles in the works on other magazines which have not been released yet. I have had gallery afiliations, sorry its not the Louvre or anything. Notariety doesn't mean you show at the top places, its who knows your work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.171.96.179 (talk) 14:59, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I saw your Svend Bayer article. He is less known than I am, but that's OK? I would suggest him for deletion as he is far less notable than I am. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.171.96.179 (talk) 15:04, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Please see Wikipedia:Notability. You are welcome to list the article Svend Bayer for deletion if you think the article meets the criteria for deletion. Kind regardsTeapotgeorgeTalk 15:47, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia policy and guidelines define notability and Wikipedia-notability is indeed very different than dictionary-definition notability. For a better explanation please see my new user essay here. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 19:20, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, as explained above. -- Hoary (talk) 12:31, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. No coverage in reliable third party sources, therefore notability not established. (Mr. Dowd, this is not in any way a reflection of you personally or of the quality of your work. It's just about meeting Wikipedia's notability guidelines.) --Dawn Bard (talk) 17:39, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
