Winning awards and owning a studio are not enough to establish notability. Marokwitz (talk) 11:20, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not notable. Marokwitz (talk) 11:21, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:16, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What the difference between article of Alex Koloskov and one of his clients, Shirley O. Corriher (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_Corriher)? Why she is notable and he is not? Lepich (talk) 01:53, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lepich, How do you know she's one of his clients? While I assume good faith, are you somehow affiliated with the subject of this article? If so, see WP:COI. Regarding notability, refer to WP:BIO, the basic criteria is that a person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.

Delete. Winning an award is sufficient to establish notability if the award is, say, the Hasselblad Award (although even this has gone to some overrated if undeniably fashionable photographers). By contrast, Koloskov's awards, though pleasing enough, don't amount to much. Anyone is welcome to take Shirley Corriher to AfD, but anyway should see "WP:Other stuff exists". -- Hoary (talk) 00:24, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
