There are a lot of claims in this article of notability, but I can't find any reliable sources for any of them. The only possible reliable source is to the LA Watts Times, and that's just a blub about an upcoming, unreleased album by a person who is a redlink. There are only 310 Ghits, and not one of them is a reliable source. BTW, the link to Swamp Zombies in the article goes to a band's article, not to an article about the direct-to-video film that is his only claim to fame on imdb. Also, the Pink Album link goes to the Wikipedia article on They Might Be Giants, not to the unreleased album by O'so Krispie, who was apparently the winner of some reality show.

This rugby league player is not notable in terms of rugby league. He plays solely in a second division youth competition, which is not considered worthy of an article by the Rugby league WikiProject (of which I am a active member). Normally we allow articles for players which play in the top competition. If and when this player enters a fully fledging top level playing career, we recommend an article on Wikipedia, until and only if then, this article won't go beyond the simple sentence which dosen't/wouldn't explain anything.

Fails Wikipedia:Notability (people). There are no independent, published sources about the subject of this article.
The first paragraph is about his supposed genealogy. The only references in the entire article appear in this paragraph. The references do not deal with the "Honoury Chieftain of the O'Higgins" at all. The first is that the name O'Higgins is a sept (followers) of the Uí Néill. The rest seem to be about the O'Higgins' in general, and not about "Honoury Chieftain of the O'Higgins".
The second and third paragraphs are a bio on the guy, there are no refs, and nothing listed shows his notability. In the third paragraph there are wiki-links to two societies: Manorial Society of Great Britain & Noble Society of Celts which seem to be an attempt to show this man is notable without having to prove it through references & sources. Both of these two articles are un-referenced stubs, and also created by the same user who created this article: Jamesnorman (talk · contribs).
The second section of the article is not about the "Honoury Chieftain of the O'Higgins", but about how the Irish government does not recognise even recognise chiefs. The government ceased "courtesy recognitions" in 2003 following scandals dealing with bogus chiefs. This webpage, written by one those who first exposed bogus chiefs in 1999, shows that there has never been a O'Higgins "chief" recognised by the modern Irish government. So basically, this guy's claim to fame is he is pretending to be a "Honoury Chieftain" and joining two "societies" listed on wikipedia.
The article fails Wikipedia:Notability (people): There are no independent, published sources about this guy. If you do some googling you get 6 hits on for "Christopher Thomas O'Higgins" -wikipedia. Four of them a mirrors of wikipedia, another is a blurb contributed to a website by a "Dr. James O'Higgins-Norman". I get 10 hits on google for "Thomas O'Higgins" Ballynary -wikipedia. Pretty much the same mirrors of wikipedia and the 'contribution' shown above. Nothing comes up on GoogleBookSearch for "Thomas O'Higgins" Ballynary & "Christopher O'Higgins" Ballynary & "Christopher Thomas O'Higgins" Ballynary.

A google search does throw up a couple of sites. I agree that they don't necessarily look mainstream but I notice that the term is included in the 'Urban Dictionary' and is also used in articles cited in the Telegraph (British establishment newspaper), the NY Times, and Time Out magazine. A parallel is drawn with "blaxploitation". I suspect this is an emerging theme that will grow in interest in years to come - seems a shame to remove it completely from wikipedia when it raises some interesting points.

Weak delete. I had originally written a much longer writeup on this, but since Javier wrote on this page before I had finished I lost all my work, so I'll make it quick(er). As stated by Ideami below, he wrote an article about himself although in his defense maybe he wasn't aware of the rules. I don't know. Either way, looking through Google (and I admit I am not well-versed in this subject) Although there a quite a few Google links that reference him, it was hard to say how many were reliable third party links or ones that were affiliated with the subject. Either way, maybe a neutral third party (I.E. not some newly registered user whose sole edit count is for Ideami) can assess as to whether or not he's notable.
I'm also nominating Ideami studios for deletion. Notability is hard to assess as well as there's only 15 hits on Google.
I'm withdrawing my deletion nom. I admit now that I was overzealous in nominating it for deletion, because the main reason was of the possible COI which in this case was mistaken because there was an already existing article on the subject's operations. After seeing dozens of no-notability celebs trying to start their own page, I have become suspicious in a lot of cases and I am more prone in jumping the gun but I think in this one I acted too soon. At the very least, no one's been responding to any of Ideami's arguments, so I don't think it would be fair of me to keep this going.--CyberGhostface (talk) 12:21, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
dear Editor, if you are referring to 15 google links to www.ideami.com, lets please write the information complete, if you go to http://tools.marketleap.com/publinkpop for example, indeed there are 13 google links to my web but there are also 325 Yahoo links to my web, so to be fair maybe it would be fair to say that there are 13 google and 325 yahoo links to my web? apart from that there are hundreds of references in google about me and my work searching for ideami, javier ideami, or javier gonzalez bernardo. Direct links to the website indexed by google are not very relevant because i never , repeat, never update my metatags and keywords and therefore my website is being very poorly indexed by google; what is very relevant is that searching for ideami, javier ideami or javier gonzalez bernardo you get hundreds of references from valid sources unconnected to me and it would be fair that you stated that; so im just asking for fairness, its not fair to say that there are 15 google links, you have to explain that those are links to my website just of google (there are 325 of yahoo which indexes in a different way!) and they are dependent only on search indexing and my website promotion efforts are Zero, so you have to add that there are 325 Yahoo links to my website, because i guess Yahoo is also relevant, isnt it? , apart from that what is truly relevant here i repeat is that searching for me in google gives tons of results that state that im a notable artist , results from sources that are not be connected to me, thank you for your attention and im just trying to help and contribute as much as i can , and to explain all you want me to explain thanks for your attention Ideami (talk) 12:59, 11 September 2008 (UTC)Javier Ideami[reply]
hi this is Javier Ideami, i just wanted to explain why i created the page; I did it because i was told by an architecture and design group unconnected to me that a page about Ideami studios which i founded was soon going to be created, i guess i should have left the same people write a page about my work if they wanted, instead of doing it myself, so i acknowledge that was probably a mistake, well, we could maybe delete this page and the same people that are creating the Ideami page could create the page about me, thats a possibility, i certainly welcome the discussion and if you need any information i am here to answer any questions Ideami (talk) 01:44, 11 September 2008 (UTC)Javier Ideami[reply]

hi and thank you for your comment, i would like to say that yes if you search in google for Ideami or Javier Ideami or Javier Gonzalez Bernardo which is my birth´s name before i changed it to Javier Ideami, you will find many many references, and most of them , coming from the London Academy of Media, Film & TV, the Spiegel Magazine in Germany, The university of Rome, The Laboral Museum of Art and Technology in Spain , different newspapers etc etc etc , can obviously not be affiliated with me, i am very tranquil about this , anybody who does a serious research around the web about me will be able to check this, i already wrote a few links in the references of the article as a beginning ; yes for sure i should have left others to create the page instead of doing it myself , that was a mistake, but as for the notability of my work there is good feedback about that around the web no doubts, thank you for your comment again Ideami (talk) 02:01, 11 September 2008 (UTC)Javier Ideami[reply]
I entered Javier Ideami in Google and received 1,670 results, even with the first 100 being fully relevent on quick scan. It is possible that such a rapid putdown of genuine articles appears to be unfair. Regarding notability there are many references available from several sources even in the first 100 Google hits. I think there are two issues here, one is the fact that the subject entered primary data in ignorance of the policy for which a sincere apology has been offered in good faith. The second of notability can be satisfied in the first instance by a review of Googled articles. For further evidence generated by evolution of the wikipage I think a reasonable suggestion would be to allow time for its development on this subject of a notable artist and his work. In context of a genuine policy misunderstanding, better to advise than to penalise.

sorry but i cant control who writes what online, i certainly would ask people who join wikipedia for the first time not to write anything in my favour here as editors are simply not going to take that into account, its clear that only people who have been for a long time in wikipedia should write here, i have understood this; i add here yet more links from news sources/institutions that are obviously not affiliated with me and which clearly state that im a notable artist, in the first one itself i appear alongside other professionals who are in wikipedia (such as Eric and Brian deacon, Peter Purves, Sally Gray and others), i wrote from the beginning lots more in the references area of the article and i could keep adding more and more, i think there are enough totally unconnected sources to me online that state that im a notable artist, if you decide to delete the article no problems go ahead, i am not going to fight this forever, but i can assure you that if i wasnt being told every few days that im a notable artist i wouldnt have put myself into this mess in the first place, i totally agree that only notable artists should appear in wikipedia, i couldnt agree more, therefore whatever you decide i respect it

Keep Hi, I subscribed wikipedia 9-10 months ago, but I am a good google user since a longer period. Actually, I know Javier, he is a good artist indeed etc., but besides that I cannot see why this page should be deleted. Ok, he admitted he did a mistake in starting it, but informations given are essential and refer to his real artistic work. It is not my intention to criticize google's policy, not at all, but I can tell from my experience there are excellent living artists and authors about whom you still find not so much through web research (google links). So, maybe, some editing with the help of the administrator could be enough to keep this wiki page on, according to google's policy.

Let's take a look:
Is it coincidence that all of these users, all of whom have only been in existence within the last 3 days, have virtually editted only pages related to Javier Ideami or Arturo Vittori? I think not. Also, I think it is clear from the last contributions page that Maddamura has not been around for 9-10 months as they claim; nor do I think that it is coincidence that Maddamura just so happens to be the one who created the page on Arturo Vittori.
