[edit] PRIZ-ONE

Non-notable graffiti artist, recreation of a deleted page, article also apears to be possible vanity as author and article are titled the same. Wildthing61476 19:02, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

If at any time you took a moment to read anything written about this writer, you would not make that statement. A semi knowledgable person just has to google him to see his contribution to this type of media. Wereas, I googled you.... found nothing. I am not trying to say that you are not who and what you claim to be, that would be assuming and pretentious.

For a " Non-notable graffiti artist", he has been in the NY Times, in several on-line and off line magazines. In serveral documentaries and most recently, his artwork appeared in an internationally published Blackbook. And low and behold, all of this information is verifiable.

I intially created the page under a different username. As a new member, I was unaware of how to go about posting the article using PRIZ-ONE as the subject. I then created this username, not only to post the article the way I wanted it to be seen, but also to ensure that no one else had the username.

Please take a moment to view DJ Clayworth's talk page and read the brief discussion we had last night. As well as his answer to my query, before anything is assumed.PRIZ-ONE 20:42, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

• comment If you wish to establish the notability of the artist, I suggest you link to those sources yourself. however, your choice of identical names to the artist does put a shadow of a doubt on it. Furthermore, the article itself is in need of severe cleanup. See Zephyr (graffiti artist) for an example of a better written article.FrozenPurpleCube 20:52, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment noted, and I plan to expand on the article not only with linkable references but with photographs as well. I will be taking a look at the artist you suggested. If you have any further helpful comment, please feel free.PRIZ-ONE 20:57, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Most of the Google hits that come up in a search do not relate to the graffiti artist. wikipediatrix 21:13, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Look under "graffiti PRIZ" and you will find the information on the artist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.85.149 (talk • contribs) 18:20, 19 September 2006
• Delete When doing the suggested search, I get one result. This article fails WP:BIO. Erechtheus 14:45, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Priz-One aka PRIZM is a notable writer (I.E. Graffiti artist). This stub should be part of Wikipedia. Erechtheus, this is not an article. Please note this was submitted as a WP:STUB and does not fail WP:BIO. "indeed the whole concept of notability is contentious". Google should not solely be used to validate notability and should only be viewed to approximate notability, see WP:GT. Salva veritate! Lerner
• Delete. While there are some assertions of notability here that might satisfy WP:BIO, they are not supported by any sources whatsoever, much less reliable third-party ones. Since no one here has been able to find sources either, despite some due diligence research, the article does not meet the non-negotiable requirements of WP:V. --Satori Son 16:54, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment

In reading your debate as whether to keep or delete this article, I have noted that the search criteria used by |Erechtheus]] was made in error. If you remove the "" you will find a much more larger search result.

The search I found at various results came up with a much larger result. As to the content being in the correct catagory, I am writing about a graff writer who has some notability. As explained previously, I am planning on expanding on the article to make it a much better bio than it is a the moment. My main concern was to clean it up by Wikipedia standards. Before any further debate, please view the search result I have listed so that a more consise determination is made. PRIZ-ONE 19:48, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
