[edit] Max kubiak

Although there exists such an artist as Max Kubiak in Montreal, this article is mostly vanity nonsense, and the last paragraph verges on a joke. The whole thing is thoroughly unverifiable, and arguably NN. I didn't want to speedy it, but Delete. Melchoir 22:03, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as per nomination. This is a poorly written article that is borderline vanity, unverifiable (only 6 Google returns on the string mentioned above), and concerns a non-notable theatrical personage. Eddie.willers 04:00, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

• Max Kubiak is a prominet feature in the Montreal theatre landscape, and though the entry has been written with a heavy dose of sensationalism, the fact remains that he is pioneering a new theatre form. His public theatre interventions, or 'tactical ambushes' address issues like gentrification, corruption with Big Canola, and careless usage of public water works in montreal parks. His work has been the subject of multiple ethnography studies, and he has been recognized by such television networks as CBC and MTV. The reference to the Bah Hai's approval is actually quite true, as he cooks dinner for Bah Hai's every tuesday night, in exchange for discounts at a local video store, and ofcourse for friendship. Perhaps, heavy editing would be a preferable route to outright deletion?
  • Hello, 67.68.155.31! Please consider signing in. It sounds like you have a lot to add to the article; by all means, please do it yourself, and I'll change my vote! One of my concerns about the article is that it makes ridiculous claims and cites no sources. If you're right about "multiple ethnography studies" and "CBC and MTV" then go ahead and add some references. Melchoir 04:07, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
