Considering the references in the article and those provided in the above discussion, there seems to be the appearance of notability, but not actual notability according to the general notability guideline. Some references lack depth of coverage: ''http://www.theguardian.com/cities/2014/jun/19/-sp-death-of-the-american-shopping-mall The Guardian'' quotes the subject, exhibits photos, but is largely about the decline of shopping malls. ''http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/photography/11201309/American-Horror-Story-haunted-houses-photos.html The Telegraph'' exhibits photos in a slideshow, but only has 2 sentences at the first slide announcing his book.  ''http://abcnews.go.com/Business/photos/inside-mall-closes-23445290/image-23445329 ABC News'' just has a slideshow of photos. Some references are to primary source interviews like: ''http://video.foxnews.com/v/3531984184001/from-bustling-center-of-prosperity-to-ghost-town/?#sp=show-clips Fox News'' and ''http://www.americanphotomag.com/photo-gallery/2014/04/interview-seph-lawless-black-friday American photo mag''. Some references are just routine coverage of an exhibition or book release like: ''http://www.cleveland.com/beachwood/index.ssf/2014/12/photo_exhibit.html cleveland.com'', ''http://www.weather.com/travel/abandoned-malls-seph-lawless-photos-20140408 Weather.com'', ''http://thoughtcatalog.com/matthew-newton/2014/06/photographing-the-dead-shopping-malls-of-our-youth-images-from-suburban-america/ thought catalog'', ''http://money.cnn.com/2014/06/30/news/economy/dead-malls/index.html CNN Money'', ''http://www.slate.com/blogs/behold/2014/06/22/seph_lawless_photographs_abandoned_malls_in_his_book_black_friday.html Slate'' , and ''http://www.fastcoexist.com/3029341/eerie-photos-of-abandoned-shopping-malls-show-the-changing-face-of-suburbia Fast Company''. Some references are just local coverage from sources with no particular reputation for fact-checking or accuracy like: ''http://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/the-art-of-the-autopsy-photographer-seph-lawless-spends-his-days-documenting-decaying-ruins/Content?oid=3625444 cleveland scene'' and ''http://clevelandmagazine.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=E73ABD6180B44874871A91F6BA5C249C&nm=Article+Archives&type=Publishing&mod=Publications::Article&mid=1578600D80804596A222593669321019&tier=4&id=BAB24EC6C6914B729AC8850F7ECA296E cleveland magazine''. The only remaining references that may be suitable for notability purposes is from a source that employs the paid editor identified above: ''http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/creepy-photos-abandoned-shopping-malls-highlight-reveal-hard-times-article-1.1773948 The Daily News''. Examination of the references leads to the conclusion that the article does not meet , despite the appearance of reliable sources, and should be deleted
