Minor photographer--no work in major museums, no substantial critical discussion. Besides magazine advertisements, published only 1 book, which is not even in WorldCat DGG ( talk ) 16:16, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NOTINHERITED. I can't find any significant coverage about Whiteside himself, in Highbeam, GeneralOneFile, Google. Passing mention, trivial coverage here and there, plenty of examples of his work about notable people and in notable publications, but that is not a reason for a separate article about Whiteside. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 19:53, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

• Keep WP:NOTINHERITED does not apply here. Articles and photo essays about and by him about including in notable magazines[1] and mentions in industry biographies [2]. He is not notable because of his connections he is notable for his large body of work and recognition in print. Just because he doesn't give many interviews does not make his work and him less notable. Found5dollar (talk) 23:01, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

• Delete - a book and an exhibit are not enough to establish WP:NARTIST notability.--Rpclod (talk) 22:54, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
• Delete- Doesn't pass WP:CREATIVE as per nom.--Rusf10 (talk) 04:30, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
