Kevin Michael Reed[edit]

This photographer is not notable and has made no contributions to fashion photography via major magazines like Vogue or W. This article lists no major fashion clients. The article lists many professional affiliations, by no means does that merits the wiki entry. His webpage has no current or noteable supermodels or editorials at the world class level.

Delete as copyvio. The majority of the article is a direct copy from his own website. Our article on Graphis needs some work, but it implies that it's an important organization in photography so its awards would be significant even if they've just recently started handing them out. So I'm not opposed to a cleaned up version of the article. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:50, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as copyvio per Mgm: article text is taken from the biography on Kevin Michael Reed's website, [1] and there is no earlier infringement-free version. The infringing material was added by User: Phrostbyte, who claims to be an associate of Kevin Michael Reed. Phrostbyte claims to have received permission from Kevin Michael Reed to add his works to the page, and User: Kmreed (who may be Kevin Michael Reed) has also edited the page; however, this is not sufficient to satisfy Wikipedia's copyright policy.
