Aethelred Eldridge

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Orphaned, questionable notability - article doesn't reference any specific works of art, for instance.  Ja Ga  talk 02:15, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Changing my vote after the impressive sourcing and article improvement by Drmies and others. I honestly looked for sources, but didn't have any luck. Article does indeed meet notability criteria now. Raven1977 (talk) 18:57, 5 January 2009 (UTC) Delete Found nothing on a search of Google Scholar, only two unique hits on Google news, both of which are subscription-only and seem to lead to university newspaper sources, probably from the school at which he's an assistant professor. None of this satisfies notability criteria. Raven1977 (talk) 03:17, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I found plenty (well, enough), and have added it to the article. Also, the fancruft has been cut; the article can stand, and the subject is proven notable, in my opinion. Raven, please have another look. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 04:00, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - An article, McNamara, Meghan (2006) “Ohio U. art professor teaching outside the box”, from the 1 June 2006 Ohio University newspaper, The Post, was picked up by University Wire and distributed nationally. In 2001 the Columbus Dispatch, not a university rag, published a story on him: Gilson, Nancy (2001)  “Burning Bright” Columbus Dispatch of 29 October 2001, p. 8E.   Earlier that year University Wire picked another article from The Post: Royal, Tiffany; Gross, Lauren  and Guard, Rachel (2001) “Look a little closer on your way to class” The Post 1 February 2001. Although he does not appear in Art Index performance artists often don't. --Bejnar (talk) 04:10, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, Wilde, Elizabeth (1975) “Faculty Show Combines Traditional with New” The Sunday Messenger 5 October 1975, p. C-9 devoted a portion to Aethelred Eldridge, again not a university rag. --Bejnar (talk) 04:20, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. He meets the WP:GNG. - Mgm|(talk) 10:21, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Inclusion in the Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes seems sufficient for notability as an artist. The lack of reference to specific works of art noted in the AfD rationale is presumably because he's a performance artist, which would also explain lack of Google Scholar coverage. Espresso Addict (talk) 12:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep--Per the references. The Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes has been reviewed by the Library Journal.--Jmundo (talk) 14:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
