Andrew Kenny (artist)

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

An SPA's article on a photographer who's had one exhibition that got one mention in a newspaper. Perhaps he's what's conventionally/optimistically called an "emerging" artist (he's still a university student); if so, let him emerge, let's see the independent critical commentary, and then let's give him an article.

There was more than just one article but also a TV interview which was shown many times throughout the first week of the exhibition. Also a shortlisting in an International competition. With the website being known globally this is also a suitable reference for wikipedia.

This is not including the numerious group shows in the City of Belfast. So it should be kept in wiki.

 * Do you have any reliable source for the frequent airing of that interview? (And how long was the interview, in broadcast form?) Which globally known website are you talking about? -- Hoary (talk) 01:17, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Northern Visions Television the interview lasted for 20 minites and was showen throughout the week. Andrew Kenny was shortlisted one of the Designboom.com International competitions. Did you not even check the references on the page? Tangledupblues (talk
 * Sure did! So do you have any source for the claim about the interview? And if designboom.com is globally known, I guess I'm not on the globe: it was a completely new name to me. -- Hoary (talk) 00:35, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

'3431 participants from 92 countries' is quoted from this page http://www.designboom.com/contest/winner.php?contest_pk=19

So it would be classed as a global and International competition.

 * Al1 right, all right -- it's global! Kenny was shortlisted (on a not so very short list) for "LED lighting indoor" or whatever it was. Sounds to me like an honorable first step toward eminence in lighting. But that's all. And it says nothing obvious about his photography, which is his claim to fame in the article. -- Hoary (talk) 15:40, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Anthøny(talk) 19:31, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. This person has not received non-trivial media coverage, as far as I can tell.  I don't see how this article passes any of the criteria at WP:CREATIVE.  Besides this, I think there may be significant conflict of interest here.  --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 21:26, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable enough yet. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:52, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The article was in the Irish News which is good media coverage as it is a large newspaper in Belfast. As well as the Interview in Northern Visions Television it would be seen as a notobale exhibition due to the press coverage given.

 * When you talk of an article in the Irish News, are you referring to the one whose text reads, in its entirety, Visitors to the Safe House Arts Gallery in Belfast this month will have the opportunity to embark on a journey across Europe, thanks to photography student Andrew Kenny ? If you're referring to something else, then please specify it. If you are indeed referring to this article, then you're unconvincing. -- Hoary (talk) 01:38, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The original took up a 1/4 of a page including the image. Tangledupblues (talk
 * Then you may wish to scan it, put it up on your website as a JPEG, and link to it. The article would then have one (1) non-trivial source. I'm sure it would not be enough, but it would be a start. -- Hoary (talk) 00:13, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - trivial coverage. PhilKnight (talk) 00:57, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
