Chris Mason (artist)

Non-notable artist. 2 of the 3 sources are Arts Project Victoria publications which are primary sources, and the third is a (minor) exhibition catalogue which is not independent. Fails WP:ARTIST and WP:GNG. Flat Out (talk) 23:33, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep as I accepted because of the national museum collection. SwisterTwister   talk  08:36, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Very borderline wikipedia technical general notability but works being held by the NGA I suggest confirms notability. NGA holding meets WP:CREATIVE/WP:ARTIST. Aoziwe (talk) 12:44, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looking at WP:ARTIST#4:
 * "The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums."
 * a) Nope. b) No evidence of being a substantial part of a significant exhibition. c) Nope. d)No evidence of being represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. NGA holding alone does not meet criteria. (more info on the Home Sweet Home NGA collection found here and here running 11 October 2003 – 18 January 2004)
 * Wikipedia is not a free webhost for the collection of artist bios for the Northcote-based studio at Arts Project Australia. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:02, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
