delete - I have no idea what this is CoolGuy 08:00, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- ok now that I know it's referring to a book, it looks good. keep - it looked to me before that it was just a comment 'on photography' CoolGuy 17:24, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I think it's referring to the Susan Sontag work[1], but it's been a long time since I've read it. A TOC isn't much of a start regardless. Postdlf 08:18, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and Expand. The Sontag article actually links to it already and a number of her other works have their own articles. I've replaced the TOC with a stub but I've not actually read the book, so someone else will have to add to it. I've left a note on Talk:Susan Sontag in the hopes that someone working on that article will contribute to this one. SteveW | Talk 21:26, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and Expand -- there might be lots of stuff in any good encyclopedia that would lead CoolGuy (or Christofurio) to say "I have no idea what this is." Still, this one is a notable and widely noted discussion of the ethical quandries inherent in photography. --Christofurio 21:30, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. The fact that it is a work by a well-known author that won a significant award makes it notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 00:43, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Postdlf 01:06, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I just added to the article an ISBN number, a one sentence book description, and an external link to information on Sontag's web site. Zzyzx11 | Talk 06:08, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. It's a hugely influential book in the early history of photography studies. --Ngb 14:22, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
