[edit] feat.sg
I've removed a reference to feat.sg. Here's what that site says about itself:
- feat. is a photographer's talent management agency featuring fresh dynamic photographers with one common goal – creating kick ass imageries for the fashion and advertising industry.
So it's just advertising Ou's services. -- Hoary (talk) 00:32, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
Could this be used as a cite for his work, rather than looked at as an advertisement? ---- User:JP22Wiki Talk - 16:20 7 May 2012
[edit] evidence for award
The article cites this as evidence for having won an award. But all this says is
- EntryID: 35926, Name: Kevin Ou Title: "Zymol "Irresistable" Campaign"
Category: Advertising, Subcategory: Automotive
Where's the evidence for having won? -- Hoary (talk) 00:38, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
cite added for award win ---- User:JP22Wiki Talk - 16:16 7 May 2012
[edit] More strange sourcing
A long list of corporate clients was followed by:
- <ref>reference to Ou's work with large [http://www.istockphoto.com/article_view.php?ID=494 companies]</ref>.
This doesn't seem to mention any of these corporate clients. Or am I missing something? -- Hoary (talk) 06:16, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
- I've removed it as a cite and put it in the EL section -- — Keithbob • Talk • 14:23, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Misc clean up
I removed the EL to Lumenere Inc as the site makes no mention of Ou. Also removed the ref to YouTube as it was not posted by the owner of the content per WP:YOUTUBE. I have also copy edited to remove editorializing and unsourced claims about the subject. I also improved some ref formatting and updated the clean up tags. The promotional tone is gone but now we have the question of notability. -- — Keithbob • Talk • 15:06, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Four9seven
- In 2005 Ou founded the Four9Seven talent agency
There's little sign of it on the web. Could it be related to four9seven.blogspot.com? But this underwhelming blog seems to have been born and died in 2009. -- Hoary (talk) 00:33, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
I've been doing a bit more searching. Wherever "Four9seven" pops up, "Stephen Dummit" seems to do so as well. Here's his blog and here's his site. No obvious sign of activity since late 2010, though for all I know there may be within the murk of Myspace, where I don't want to venture. -- Hoary (talk) 01:03, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Lumenere
The article says:
- Lumenere Inc., a foundation aimed at improving global sustainability through enterprise.
That might mean anything, or nothing.
Ou himself says it is:
- A global society-based company that leverages corporate revenue to create a positive social change in the world.
I am unable to derive any sense from this. (An essay by Harry Frankfurt comes to mind.) And I'm no wiser after reading this.
Perhaps somebody better than me at deciphering corporatese should take over. -- Hoary (talk) 07:25, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
- There is no indication at the web site that Ou is a founder or has any significant role. His web site is listed under the LINKS section of the company site but that is all. I've removed the sentence claiming he founded the company. -- — Keithbob • Talk • 14:25, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Modern Home + Living (MHL) magazine
Modern Home + Living (MHL) magazine appears to be merely a blog? Not sure why it would be worthy of a mention.Theroadislong (talk) 14:23, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
- If you go to the blog section of the web site, it shows a man holding a paper issue of the magazine, so I think it exists. Its notabiliy and Ou's role there are a bit in question though.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 14:32, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Possible sources
I've put some possible sources in the EL section.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 14:44, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
