Talk:Tom Liesegang

 * Specific text to be added or removed: Please strike section...

Present Efforts (2011-Present)
Since 2011, Liesegang's work is influenced by direct observation of nature. Against a contemporary backdrop of mass consumerism and an over reliance on technology. Semi abstracted water reflections and layered glass-like surfaces characterize this recent work.

Quaboag Series SERIES (2013 - 2016)
Named after a lake in central Massachusetts and inspired by direct observation of nature, Liesegang completed a series of paintings, pastels, and watercolors. Semi abstracted water reflections often observed at dusk led to the creation of layered glass like surfaces.

 * Dead link. It's unclear what's being linked. Please avoid spam. STEM info  (talk) 01:35, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
 * My apologies, the website was working when I made request, I've notified client that it is down. Whois says that the domain is paid through 2028-05-23. Must be a problems with Wix. Thanks for looking at my request. Apriltools (talk) 22:52, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
 * the site seems to be back up, but after looking at the site, including the link is problematic. Its purpose seems to be to promote the art and web site, but without media coverage of the site indicating notability, Wikipedia consensus to avoid promotionalism suggests not adding the link. If the web site was notable enough to be covered in the press, we could reconsider. STEM info  (talk) 20:06, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * There is supporting press coverage here 86 Logic, Issue 9, page 50, for both the registered non-profit status and the website are mentioned. According to a search from New York, Department of State Division of Corporations New Art Brut was incorporated in 2019 and is in active standing. My understanding is that these facts (within an existing article) go to "claims" rather than "notability", am I wrong? It would be nice to have a short description of what New Art Brut is somewhere in the article ( Edit request 2 Liesegang is the co-founder of New Art Brut, Inc., a not for profit platform for artists whose work confronts social injustice.), in addition to an external link.  My understanding is that Wikipedia links are nofollow, so no promotion (only discovery for interested parties) is intended for this five year old entity.  Thanks for your response, Apriltools (talk) 22:15, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The article you linked is a copy of a PDF uploaded to producers.wiki. We'd need a link to the original article for it to be considered a reliable source. Even so, with just a brief mention of New Art Brut in an interview with Liesegang, there's no indication that the group meets Wikipedia's standards of notability. The issue isn't proving that the group exists.  We still need to demonstrate that the entity is notable enough to mention in the article.  We need better sourcing for that. If the group gets any coverage in the press, please ping me.  STEM info  (talk) 07:01, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for adding the images. The original article is behind a paywall, which is why I have the PDF up on producers.wiki.  There is no url.  Liesegang's art is on the cover of Issue 9, I will take my PDF down when we are done here.  When you say "standards of notability" do you mean WP:N???? Thanks again Apriltools (talk) 20:57, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The notability standards usually focus on subjects of articles, but in this case we're looking at whether the item itself is notable. There needs to be some independent coverage. A paywalled source is OK as long as someone can verify it.  STEM info  (talk) 20:15, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
