Vanity spam from a corporate name account. Perkins, aka Genshi, falls short of notability. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Current sourcing that actually mentions him is either trivial or by him or not in a reliable source. I found nothing better. None of his musical projects are notable. None of his films are notable. Telly Award is not major ("Entries are self-nominated", "no set limit to the number of winners each year, but the total numbers in the thousands", "statue prizes are paid for by the winners using engraved information chosen by the recipient"). Awards at iPhone Film Festival are not major. Being published does not make him a notable photographer. Nothing satisfying WP:MUSIC, WP:BIO, WP:CREATIVE. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:10, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - can't see him passing any of the above guidelines, or WP:GNG - couldn't find any real sources on the guy via Google. Don't think it's quite a speedy delete for spam/pure-promo though. Lukeno94 (talk) 12:12, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The references are self-published, don't cite what's given, or mention his name and nothing else, which isn't significant enough to convey notability. --Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 11:40, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The references in the article are mostly unreliable sources. Of the lot, only Wired is one that I would consider a reliable source, but that article is not about Perkins, and only used photos of his broken heart robots as an illustration with not even a mention in the main body text. My own search turned up nothing useful for establishing notability. -- Whpq (talk) 23:18, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
