Reads more like a CV than an article; a few media mentions, but I haven't found any examples of non-trivial coverage. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 14:06, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Young artist, not notable yet. Johnbod (talk) 21:01, 24 December 2010 (UTC) See below; not sure now. Johnbod (talk) 04:16, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Courcelles 03:20, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See this. We have a) a declared COI, and b) from the biography on the gallery site many more mentions than the nom suggests that are accessible online. These are not linked to from the article, which they should be, & I'd like an assessment by someone more up on the local scene & sources than me. But there is now some evidence of notability at least. Johnbod (talk) 04:16, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I just saw this page and went through and linked some of the supporting reviews, etc. I know Lindquist's work by his last shows-- I saw NY Mag critic Jerry Saltz with his wife NYT critic Roberta Smith at his last opening and Saltz seemed taken by his work. Re: COI: many artists' galleries or studio assistants construct wikipedia pages for them, look at Ryan McGinness's talk and see it's one person editing. -- 96.232.4.214 (talk) 05:34, 1 February 2011 (UTC)artworldlover[reply]

Of course they do, and that is very often mentioned here as an argument for deletion - see WP:COI. Johnbod (talk) 16:01, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The available info on Lindquist includes this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this. His website lists many more relaible source coveages,[1] which could have been checked before listing the AfD. I also found info on All-Colorado ice hockey goalie Greg Lindquist and Buffalo, NY City economic development specialist Greg Lindquist, not to be confused with this artist. -- [[User:Uzma Gamal|Uzma Gamal] (talk) 14:47, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps they were - the first one I looked at was a YouTube phone video of a shared gallery opening, which demonstrates nothing at all. Johnbod (talk) 02:35, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- I stand by my original nomination. Of the links you provided, only one demonstrates significant coverage from a reliable source (a local weekly). OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:19, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per available info provided by Uzma.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:52, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ohnoitsjamie: What do you mean by reliable? The links provide credible sources, for example Art in America [2] and ARTnews [3], which are both major art publications. Blueprintmemory1 (talk) 17:11, 5 February 2011 (UTC)Blueprintmemory[reply]
