Talk:Land Arts of the American West

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greetings,

I am the author of the LAND ARTS OF THE AMERICAN WEST page and i disagree with the speedy deletion criteria added to this page. This is an academic program that is invested in creating a new definition of Land Art through direct engagement with the landscape. I am the program co-director and speak on behalf of the program. The website listed as a source for possible copyright violation http://art232.art.utexas.edu/_la/index.php?p_id=89 is a site I created and is located on a server at the University of Texas. That is the program's website. My interest in creating a Wikipedia entry is to connect our work to that of other entries in the Encylopedia referenced in the entry. I have tried to address the concerns of vanity pages and advertising by keeping the entry as factual as possible. If it will help to create an Externail Links section to include the program website I am happy to do this. I am also willing to follow any other requirements to have the page meet your posting criteria. Any guidance you can lend to this effort will be greatly apprecaited. As you probably know I am new to posting on Wikipedia.

Thanks for your patience,

Chris Taylor Assistant Professor of Design, UT Austin, Co-Director, Land Arts of the American West


Prod concern was: Notability/importance in question. There are many studies and field programs going on at any time. What makes this one stand out in such as way as to require an encyclopedia article? ghits: [1]. —C.Fred (talk) 03:06, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


In response the concerns questioning the importance of this entry. Land Arts is a unique field program in the way it brings a broad set of disciplines together. I will add to the entry to try and make that clear. My original intent in being brief was to make the point directly the the references to the range of sites we visit. In the arena of visual arts (studio art and design) this is a truely unique program and unlike any other in focus and intensity. If you can point to other examples I would gladly reference them.C dog taylor
