Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Seph Lawless
Sticking to the |notability guidelines as I understand them, I think this page should stay. I'm focusing on the multiple references, some from very good sources. The references relate to his work (photography) and that's where the notability lies, not in his status as an explorer, a person with a pseudonym or anything else. On the subject of whether or not paid editing is involved or any other shenanigans, this appears to me to be a side alley that lies outside the remit of how we assess articles here. It's not the first debate I've seen take this tangent and the advice last time around from the closer was that issues over authorship/status of paid for articles be addressed at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)|village pump and not used to determine whether an article stays or goes (see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Lucibel_%282nd_nomination%29). I'd say the same recommendation applies here
