Seems to fail WP:BP and WP:GNG. Sources are weak, which include self-published website, a deadlinked site, and authored book. The strongest sources are a couple catalogue entries of the Smithsonian for his photographs, which does not meet WP:AUTHOR. Delta13C ( talk) 15:48, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Delete, this seems to be advertorial, there's no evidence the guy is actually notable. Guy ( Help!) 14:33, 4 December 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Being a founding member and president of an organization is a claim that might constitute enough notability to keep a properly sourced and genuinely substantive article, but it's not a freebie that confers automatic inclusion rights just because the person exists. This does indeed look and feel less like an encyclopedia article and more like the kind of advertorial PR profile one might expect to find on his own website, and the referencing is parked almost entirely on primary sourced confirmation of his existence rather than reliably sourced evidence of notability.
