Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Don Ed Hardy (2nd nomination)
I think this individual has a significant place in modern culture equivalent to, at least, Banksy or any one of a number of clothing/graphic designers, just based on the degree to which the designs have penetrated fashion.  The honorary doctorate seems sufficient evidence of |notability, and the merchandising aspect seems to me to be just as notable as Happy Bunny, Hello Kitty or a number of other memetic design statements.  I agree that the emphasis on the merchandising is somewhat lopsided, but as a designer he's been successful for more than "fifteen minutes" and deserves an entry here
