Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Seamus Ryan (photographer)
Let me recap. {{U|Jahaza}} writes that "he's got photos in the National Portrait Galleryhttps://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp88676/seamus-ryan, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston/https://www.mfah.org/art/detail/72183, and the Worcester Art Museumhttps://worcester.emuseum.com/search/Seamus%20ryan, which I think is good enough for rtist 4d." Our man, '''Seamus Ryan''' (https://www.seamus.co.uk/ABOUT/1 seamus.co.uk) has https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp88676/seamus-ryan one photograph at the NPG. He https://www.seamus.co.uk/ABOUT/1 describes himself: "He has worked on countless advertising campaigns, editorial commissions and theatre posters over a twenty year career." He adds "He has been awarded by the Association of Photographers and the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize and has work in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery." (No mention of MFAH or Worcester.) He's based in Shoreditch (central London). He's highly proficient, and the Wessing prize is an achievement -- but he doesn't meet rtist 4d. There is also a '''Seamus A. Ryan''' (https://www.seamusryan.com/about seamusryan.com). He https://www.seamusryan.com/about describes himself as a "Fine Art Photographer and Photography Teacher". He adds "My work is in many private and corporate collections and in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Art in Houston and the Worcester Museum of Fine Art." (No mention of the NPG.) He's based in Tunbridge Wells The names of the two photographers are similar, but the risk of confusion is low, if one spends five minutes in each of the two websites. I invite Jahaza, {{U|Canterbury Tail}} and {{U|Bearian}} to do this. (And of course I am open to reasoned arguments that no, I have made some mistake, and the two subtly differing names, the two websites and the three museum holdings are after all of the same one person
