Seeking fair-use photograph of Shane Lavalette for article. Ariiise ( talk) 01:49, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
I'm archiving the 'Selected press' items here. In and of themselves they do not contribute any substance to the article. If/as there is substance from them that can be integrated into the article, then they can be used as references. A step towards making this article less resume-like. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld ( talk) 16:28, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
Thank you. A mention of an important exhibition/commission has been added to the article, from which this relevant press arose. Ariiise ( talk) 17:14, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
The {resumelike} maintenance tag has been added - and removed - several times to this article. It remains resume-like, in my opinion. The article is a good start for what appears to be a genuinely notable photographer, however it is not yet in encyclopedia-like form. Thanks for your assistance in further developing this into an encyclopedia-like article. DA Sonnenfeld ( talk) 12:21, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
Agreed. A more encyclopedic tone and less resume items will help improve this article. Ariiise ( talk) 17:20, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
Removed honors/awards without citations. Fotohist ( talk) 17:40, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
Agreed, still too resume-like, and have so tagged. The list of exhibitions and publications should go. All of them. This is a photographer of marginal notability, and there is far too much unencyclopedic detail. Coretheapple ( talk) 13:44, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
I've fixed by removing the lengthy and unencyclopedic list of exhibitions and publications, as well as the collections in which his photography is featured, all per WP:NOTEVERYTHING, as otherwise we get a resume. It's bad enough that this is obviously an autobiography; let's not rub salt in the wound, OK? Lastly, I've removed the list of awards that this chap has been nominated for and been a finalist for but has not actually won. Coretheapple ( talk) 13:53, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Shane Lavalette has released the text in his bio and CV for use in this article: http://shanelavalette.com/bio 2604:6000:BDA1:A00:95D5:A063:B604:D1E0 ( talk) 17:10, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
I think that we should discuss here if a COI tag belongs on this article. I removed it, as the editor in question denies having a COI, but only of being in contact with the subject. This has been reverted on the basis of that explanation. Look, I agree that there is strong evidence of COI editing. But this is a BLP. The COI tag itself has BLP implications. We have to exercise utmost care. I just don't see how we can justify a COI tag on this article just because an editor claims he was in contact with the subject. Whether we believe him or not is beside the point. Coretheapple ( talk) 21:16, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
A space to discuss the BLP sources tag, and wether or not it is now resolved. Every line of the article has a citation, so it may be. Thoughts? Ariiise ( talk) 16:11, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
