Too short, lack of references. Delete. Tohd8BohaithuGh1 (talk) 10:48, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Being "too short" is not a reason for deletion. It cites a print reference, is it possible to find the magazine online?--Thomas.macmillan (talk) 04:22, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Assuming good faith on the reference, but one reference for a two-sentence stub is actually pretty good compared to the average referencing for a stub. I also stub-tagged the article. Since the article asserts notability, and is not contradicted by sources, then I think it's probably fine. UltraExactZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 14:57, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The search function at Wanderlust has not heard of him any more than the rest of the web (it may be in the subscriber section, but search returns usually provide a taste to try and gain business). His own website claims that he is an award winning photographer, film maker and journalist but doesn't mention this trip. All told, nothing is verifiable.

Keep. The man exists and takes photos all over the globe. See Itchytraveller.com and
odyssei.com (I added these to the article). Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 19:33, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment two self posted articles, in one of which he admits the travel writing is a hobby, do not make him notable. Nuttah (talk) 19:46, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, though when a person is a writer, one might resonably expect to find his writings. I'll hang on to a keep though, assuming good faith in the print ref, and that the self-published articles of his photography and travels confirm the claimed career.

Keep: Jeremy Curl.com is indeed the man we are discussing, but Jeremy Curl the traveller is not the same man. The two other references mentioned above are about the wrong person, despite also travelling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Filmlabpotato (talk • contribs) 14:12, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
