 * Keep

The article should be kept for the following reasons: the artist in question lived in Jamaica, and contributed to the tapestry of the Jamaican art scene whilst he was there. He was sought out and got commissions for five star, international rated hotels. Please note, that these weren't just local inns, and these projects were not tendered for, but he was invited to, as seen by him being chosen for Expo 92. If you look at this link (http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20071104/arts/arts1.html ) Jane Issa, who is a member of the Issa family who are owners of major hotel chains in Jamaica and the Caribbean, mentions Will and Margaret by (misspelt, sur)name. This article was done seven years after he left Jamaica and it shows that Will Robson has left his mark on the arts and crafts scene in that part of the world.

With regards to conflict of interest, I do take some sort of umbrage at this claim, because I am coming from the aspect of recording a person who contributed to the Jamaican art scene and the last time I recall, Wikipedia was dedicated to notable persons WORLDWIDE and not just artists in Europe or the USA. Sometimes these people do not get pinged on the google search, because said search is skewed towards American and European based artists. For example, if you look at the Wiki entry for Barrington Watson, who is a world noted Jamaican artist, he only has a stub, which is shameful. In addition, the notion of an online presence and the digital age didn't take root until 2001 (co incidentally, when wikipedia got its first start) and as such, the artist in question should not be penalised because articles about him are in newspaper archives, which can only be viewed on payment. In addition, with regards to other artists in terms of their presence online, its basically press releases put out by galleries, which is a form of self promotion.

In conclusion, as much as I can appreciate why one would think of my entry being a conflict of interest, the only conflict of interest is that I am a Jamaican, and that if I'm not moved to put notable Jamaicans forward, who will? Jazzypom (talk) 13:17, 10 January 2010 (UTC)


 * And by the way, why is this guy notable? It would appear that Wiki loves its footballers.Jazzypom (talk) 19:48, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
