Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Photography

WP:DSPHOTO

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Photography. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Photography|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Photography. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Visual arts.

Photography

Ken Ross (photographer)

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

Fails WP:BIO, WP:PHOTOGRAPHER. No significant coverage of Ken Ross himself or his work, and it doesn't seem as if his work has been a substantial part of any significant exhibition. Most coverage consists of brief mentions, primarily in relation to his notable mother, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross or to the foundation. Mooonswimmer 00:50, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Photography, and Arizona. Shellwood (talk) 00:50, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source analysis (excluding his own organizations, and trademarks):

https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2019/03/stanford-acquires-archive-of-elisabeth-kubler-ross.html: Not significant coverage
https://www.radiolab.org/podcast/queen-dying (Radiolab interview): About his mother
https://www.rte.ie/radio/doconone/1232634-the-life-and-living-lady (Irish National Radio): No transcript, but about his mother; likely no significant coverage.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3cszmjz: Same as the last
https://palliativecare.org.au/story/palliative-matters-life-after-death-dying-how-ken-ross-is-keeping-his-mothers-legacy-alive/: Some info on his own story, but is an interview, which doesn't meet independence criteria
(His father's obituary)

External links sources:

https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/lifematters/ken-ross/11122824 (ABC): No transcript, not even necessarily entirely about his mother, but still an interview
https://medicine.stanford.edu/news/current-news/standard-news/Kubler-Ross-Archive.html: No significant coverage
https://www.rte.ie/culture/2021/0716/1235508-documentary-on-one-the-life-and-living-lady/: Not really significant coverage of him; mostly about his mother and interaction with the interviewer
https://eolupodcast.com/2021/12/20/ep-330-the-legacy-of-elisabeth-kubler-ross-with-ken-ross/: Interview, at least 50% about his mother, self-published (although by a published author on the topic)
https://www.theunleashedheart.com/ep-68-ken-ross/ Same as last, not sure whether the author of piece is published

So there's some mentions of what he's doing now, but it's all in interviews. Looks like what does get mentioned is that he founded the Foundation, so maybe if coverage of that can be found, that could have its own article.

On Google, I can't find anything either. So, Delete. Mrfoogles (talk) 01:20, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not a notable photographer - fails WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST. It sounds like he has done good work during his life in relation to the Kubler-Ross Foundation (his notable mother's foundation) but her notability does not transfer to him, and simply heading the foundation and being a photographer who has photographed some notable subjects does not confer inherent notability. The exhibitions (all are unsourced) took place at non-notable venues; no record of being in significant permanent collections of museums or national galleries. I'm also not finding the usual reviews of his work or exhibits that normally are associated with notable artists/photographers. A BEFORE search finds only social media. I'm sure he's a great person, but he's not wiki-notable. Netherzone (talk) 14:41, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
