Hi, you can sign your messages using four tildes ~~~~. Your article said
- Samuel A. Marx was an american (sic) architect, designer and interior decorator. -doesn't make him notable
- He was notably influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright. I could be influenced by FLW - being influenced by a famous person doesn't confer notability
- There is a book about him (no publisher, year or ISBN) - no indication of the relevance, for all I know the book may have sold only 10 copies. The author doesn't appear to be notable enough for a Wikipedia article
Your man may well have been notable, but there are no indications of this in your article, which also lacks any references. The idea is that you do the research and show notability, not me. If you wish to recreate with some indication of why he is famous, the deleted text follows Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:51, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Samuel A. Marx was an american architect, designer and interior decorator. He was notably influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The gallerist Liz O'Brien published a book collecting most of his works, Ultramodern : Samuel Marx, Architect, Designer, Art Collector (Pointed Leaf Press).
- you are right with regard to copyright - in the US and UK, it's death + 70 years. If a website doesn't state anything about copyright, I'm afraid the assumption is that the image cannot be used. You might get away with a single picture under a fair use rationale, if he is dead (you don't give dates) - not if he is alive since potentially a non-copyright image could be made Jimfbleak - talk to me? 20:27, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
