Insufficient references to establish notability. -- Beland (talk) 16:08, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Md Nahid Islam (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

No indication of notability per WP:CREATIVE. Main claim to fame is that he was the youngest professional sports photographer. Articles was draftified yesterday from Md. Nahid Islam, sourced only with the dailycricket.com.bn sports blog post. Today it's been recreated with a second sports blog post from rabsportsnews.com, dated today, not a good sign of an independent source. A WP:BEFORE search turned up no coverage in reliable sources in English or Bengali (নাহিদ ইসলাম). Editors searching for any RS I missed please note that Nahid Islam is an unrelated activist.

Proposed deletion

Merging two 19th c categories

[edit]

I have noticed that Photographic processes dating from the 19th century is the most commonly used one, but there is one Photographic techniques dating from the 19th century. It's creating a false division between them as they are both partially cataloged.

Category:History of photography articles needing expert attention has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. A discussion is taking place to decide whether this proposal complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you.

Michael Yamashita

[edit]

Hi all,


I am a fan of Michael Yamashita and am attempting to salvage an old Wikipedia page before it is deleted. I've deleted some information without sources and am adding neutral info & facts. Open to any help and advice as I am a new editor. I believe this page contributes to the public good as Michael is one of the most well known modern day Asia photographers.

Hello!
Some progress has been made on Michael Yamashita's page, thanks to some editors here and others.
There is a "citation needed" on the first sentence of the bio, with regards to exhibitions. I've started [thread] with a link to some useful info on the Talk page, in hopes some editors will take a look and advise. Cryptohydrate (talk) 15:46, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
