[edit] Jim Jiangbo

Article's creator is a very good contributor to Wikipedia, but Jim Jiangbo doesn't get a single Google hit (My Chinese isn't good enough to check for Chinese websites though.) For now I say delete for lack of notability, but if the article's creator can convince me otherwise, I'm more than willing to change my vote. Aecis ^{praatpaal 22:51, 3 November 2005 (UTC)}

• Okay... that's odd. I read his name in an article about art purchasing trends at North American art shows, one of the trends is Chinese work. Here's the quote from today's Toronto Star article "Big art fair says much about buyers' tastes": No art magazine with a circulation of more than six readers has gone without a recent feature on the burgeoning contemporary art practice in China. TIAF brought Shengtian Zheng — co-curator of 2004 Shanghai Biennale — on board as guest curator for "Art Rising," a sampler of new Chinese work, including some site-specific work by Wang Tiande and Jin Jiangbo, both from Shanghai. As might be expected, "a selection of galleries representing Chinese artists," note TIAF's organizers, will be there, "underpinning the exhibition." I can contact the author, Peter Goddard, to see if it was a typo. However he's a very knowledgable art critic, and The Toronto Star is way too respectable to make up info. -- user:zanimum
  • Now I see what has happened. You've created an article called Jim Jiangbo, while the artist is called Jin Jiangbo, who gets about 600 google hits and seems relatively notable. Would a speedy fix/move solve the problem? Aecis ^{praatpaal 23:23, 3 November 2005 (UTC)}
    • Ughh... how I missed that mistake, I'll never know. -- user:zanimum
• Keep possibly move to Jin Jiangbo and expand as per Zaninum. His work is being displayed internationally and reported in a notable newspaper so meets notability criteria for mine. Capitalistroadster 02:04, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Was that intentional, switching the "m" in my username with an "n", as I switched the "n" in Jin's name with an "m"? I must say it's funny, either way. -- user:zanimum
• (Speedy) Keep, then move to the properly named article. If only all of these things were as easily solved... -- Captain Disdain 04:41, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
