Arto Alanenpää[edit]

A photographer in his twenties who seems to have done well in minor contests, who has pronounced religious views, who has occasionally got into some kind of dispute about religion, but about whom I can find very little information. There's a claim that he's published a book, but Google has no mention of it other than in this article, and apparently it has no ISBN, which sounds odd. Prod added earlier, prod removed. I hope that he has a great future, whereupon he may have an article. But I think an article is premature. Hoary (talk) 10:20, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete seems to be a minor photographer at best - there's no indication how big these photographic contests were. Also there's a possibility of self-promotion of the subject - the man's religious views seem to correspond with youtube member aadesig, who shares his unusual name with the creator of this article. So basically, this is someone mistaking Wikipedia for myspace. Totnesmartin (talk) 10:45, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Alanenpää's two major achievements don't count for much, and everything else admittedly counts for less. Fortunately for Arto, Jesus loves. Pinkville (talk) 22:48, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
