[edit] Vinyl Art by Daniel Edlen

Vinyl Art by Daniel Edlen (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Looks like it has been edited mainly by the subject of the article. Commercial. Incorrect subject titling for an article. The references are all about the same person, not about an art genre. Clubmarx (talk) 02:13, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Edit:Having links is not the same thing as notability. Clubmarx (talk) 03:25, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep and Rename. While we discourage subjects from creating articles based on themselves or their creations, notability has clearly been established in the secondary sources in the references. May need some cleanup but it's notable. Redfarmer (talk) 02:16, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I should have taken a closer look at the references. All but one are to blogs. I'm still uneasy deleting this but it's a lot weaker of a keep now that I realize that. Redfarmer (talk) 02:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I still haven't made my mind up on this one? I feel that the subject "Vinyl art" would justify an article by itself. Vinyl art redirects to this page by the way. The redirect was created by one of the main contributors to this article. The references cited I'm not completely happy with. I don't have a copy of the "Palisadian-Post" for starters and unsure how reliable a source it is? The blog references are not reliable and the last one "getTRIO" I can't view unless I download the flash player! I'm leaning towards delete but rather than rush in I'll see if the article develops now it has been listed here. Sting_au Talk 02:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Help?Ok, trying again as edit conflict occurred. I'm trying to learn, having just figured out how to create references. Thought I'd flesh out the piece with current references. I have an email in with the author of the Palisadian-Post article to see about an online link. There will be more published about this that will be able to be referenced, but as it's fairly new in the public eye, there isn't yet. If that makes it inappropriate, then please delete it. If not, help me clean it up. I wanted to remove the 'vinyl art' and replace with 'vinyl art by daniel edlen' as 'vinyl art' can apply to toys as well. Hopefully I'm adding this correctly and signing successfully. Dedlen (talk) 03:34, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
  • So what do I do?Thanks, Sting_au, for the welcome! Is the page appropriate enough to keep? I don't want to run afoul of things here, as it should stay strict, but I do think my artwork is notable enough. Maybe not yet?Dedlen (talk) 03:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete, I was leaning towards keep, but three out of the four sources provided are blogs that don't establish notability. However, given the assurances above, I suggest that we Defer closure for a few days to have a look at the Palisadian Post link if it can become available. At the very least, the article should be moved, I suggest to Daniel Edlen. Lankiveil (talk) 07:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC).
  • QuestionI've gotten a response from the Palisadian-Post that there is no archived copy of the article. I have printed copies which I could use to create my own copy of the article on my website. I noticed that Luke Chueh has this for most of his references. Is this acceptable? Would that make it a keep? I don't know what else to do, if not. Thanks!Dedlen (talk) 20:24, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Local press won't be enough to save this one. Neither artist nor "genre" notable. Johnbod (talk) 04:01, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per others. Non-notable. Doctorfluffy (talk) 05:16, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
