Artist Funded

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unclear significance. Appears to fail WP:GNG. Of the four sources currently listed, one is a dead link, one doesn't mention the subject, and one merely briefly mentions the subject's originator. Search online reveals little more than circular links and links to WP mirrors. Previously prodded but disputed with a promise of more refs (still not forthcoming after two weeks). Also, "possibly" a case of WP:COI.  Lord Vetinari  03:05, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep This appears to be an Australian Government funding source for the Arts and Arts related activities throughout Australia . The article does need development and does deviate from Wiki standard however, it does have notable. --User:Warrior777 (talk) 20:04, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Can you please explain why you think the article has notability. Also, the link you referred to above doesn't appear to mention either "Artist Funded" or "Kate Fulton".  Lord Vetinari  10:54, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I would suggest you ask the author of the article. --User:Warrior777 (talk) 15:00, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstood. I was referring to the fact you asserted the article has notability but didn't explain a reason for that assertion. In other words, you gave no rationale for your "Keep" vote. In AfD, as in most other WP voting processes, it is the merits of an argument that are counted, at least as much as the quantity.

 * Delete per my nom. (I didn't say it earlier)  Lord Vetinari  11:10, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - The nominator normally does not put in a !vote as the nomination is considered to indicate that the nominator believes the article should be deleted. -- Whpq (talk) 16:49, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Just clarifying. But thank you.  Lord Vetinari  10:30, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is not a government initiative based on the article content, and the link provided above completely mystifies me as I see no relation between it and the "Artist Funded" initiative beyond being to do with the arts. There is no significant coverage about this initiative that I was able to find.  The referencing in the article includes a primary source (Kate Fulton talking about this in some gallery) and a non-reliable source in the form of a keynote speech that talked a bit about the initiative. -- Whpq (talk) 16:49, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment From the site, next to the B&W photo . What we do .....  The Australia Council for the Arts is the Australian Government’s arts funding and advisory body." usage fair use, educational. They are a branch of the Government.--User:Warrior777 (talk) 03:39, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Neither this new link nor the one mentioned earlier mentions either the "Artist Funded" program, the "Artist Funded" logo or "Kate Fulton".  Lord Vetinari  10:30, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence of significant reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. LibStar (talk) 03:00, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Pause give the creator a couple of weeks to find some of these "exhibition catalogues, invitations, websites, blogs and magazines" that use this logo. I've looked but "artist funded" is a common phrase... Stuartyeates (talk) 05:26, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Already did so. Article creator seems to be the most knowledgable about the topic, as well as having the burden of evidence but, despite a promise of additional refs, none were forthcoming after two weeks.  Lord Vetinari  09:22, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
