[edit] Gary Lee Price

Gary Lee Price (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Not notable. Most of the article is about his education. There are some regional minor prizes but that's it. No references. Almost an orphan page. Has weasel words to speculate how many pieces are in collections. The first creator appears to be Mr. Price's agent perhaps. Clubmarx (talk) 07:01, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, per Tyrenius's excellent research below. Although the article still needs a lot of work. Modernist 23:49, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. The original creator appears to be a search engine optimization person. Also, the article doesn't really assert notability to my satisfaction. Bart133 ^{(t) (c)} 16:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, probably should have been a speedy delete. When the first sentence of an article tells you what grade school the subject went to, you can tell they're really really really desperate. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:20, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

inclusion of nonimportant material like that is equally likely to just indicate coi that can be removed--and in some cases, one could even say, the more distinguished, the more likely it is for such details to be encyclopedia-worthy. DGG (talk) 04:44, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep if the presence in major museums can be documented. That would be sufficient for notability, no matter who wrote he article. Delete otherwise.DGG (talk) 10:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The subject merits it, although the way the article is currently written doesn't. See Statue of Responsibility for which Gary Lee Price is the sculptor, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Statue of Responsibility. There's links to the press coverage for the statue on sorfoundation.org. See Daily Herald story. Art Business News[1] is a reference for "a successful, self-employed artist ... His works can be found in public and private collections in England, Hong Kong and throughout the United States. Price's pieces are also on display and for sale in 16 major galleries across the United States. He is a member of the National Sculpture Society and has taught classes at the Loveland Sculpture Academy and the Scottsdale Artist School. Awards include the Utah Governor's Mansion Artist Award, Eliza R. Snow Alumni Award for the Arts from Ricks College and Springville, Utah, Citizen of the Year ... Price established the Incredible Journey Arts Foundation". Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald features a public sculpture.[2] Daily Herald reports a Shakespeare statue at University of Central Oklahoma.[3] Here's a biog from Springville Museum of Art.[4] That's just a quick trawl, but meets notability and verification requirements.
