The result was redirect to Cosplay. Consensus is that this shouldn't be a separate article. If there is anything mergeworthy, it can be merged from the history. Sandstein 08:57, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wholly unreferenced despite being around for some years. Single in-line ref is to a blog as is the only external link. No notability. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 10:39, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

merge to cosplay Not much independent info here; what little there is belongs in the main article. Mangoe (talk) 14:07, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regretful delete. (I don't see any mergeworthy content.) I'd guess that there is something to it; cosplay photography (of which I cheerfully admit ignorance) is not likely to be to cosplay what -- random example -- bridge photography is to bridges; after all, bridges do their (useful) thing even without conscious attention, whereas cosplay seems to crave it. Why my regret? Well, consider this nugget (from an article that can't decide if its subject is a "form" or a "style" of photography): The photos can be black and white, color, any size or shape with any lens, so long as a coslayer [sic] is the main subject. -- Hoary (talk) 01:51, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
