Kim Jew

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Photographer of doubtful notability, sources all seem like local business/PR pieces. Also, article is written like an ad. Author removed my advert and notability tags without explanation. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:48, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I tried to read this, but the spam was asphyxiating. Example: he was also given the distinct honor of photographing North America’s largest concave fresco. -- Hoary (talk) 02:07, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The Kim Jew Wikipedia entry does not have any issues that would make it a candidate for deletion. The article uses a variety of sources, both within the state of New Mexico and throughout the United States. The sources cited are not PR pieces, but legitimate news stories crafted by journalists, not Kim Jew himself. The breadth of sources shows that there is significant coverage of Kim Jew as a photographer; the sources of publication show that they are reliable; the sources of publication are written from a third party perspective—they are not written by Kim Jew; the sources are independent of the subject. Based on this criteria, I believe that the Wikipedia entry about Kim Jew should be presumed suitable for inclusion. Additionally, Kim Jew’s notability spans decades…the independent coverage cited is not short-term interest. As far as being given the distinct honor of photographing North America's largest concave fresco....as the official photographer, that is an honor. Of course anybody can go and photograph it now...but Kim Jew was hired as the official photographer of this notable work of art. Not to mention that he has photographed 4 US presidents, many celebrities, famous politicians and has had his work featured in a variety of national publications. I understand that Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion…and this entry does not read as such. It is not advocating people to take an action, it is not an opinion piece; it is written from a neutral point of view, and it is written in an objective style….stating facts about Kim Jew’s life and notable contributions to the field of photography....all of which can be and are documented. And NawlinWiki, I apologize for posting on your wall...and thank you for pointing me to the proper place to have this discussion....truly, I was not aware that I was committing a faux pas by posting there.
