Derrick Fludd

 * – ( View AfD View log )

After I proposed this BLP article's deletion, the creator removed the prod tag and added the following reference. This source is not an independent, secondary source that analyses the subject. It is clear that Derrick Fludd is a non-notable artist. Speciate (talk) 16:57, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - Fludd is an American artist in China, I'm still looking for better references...Modernist (talk) 19:45, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Think carefully. Is it possible he is simply not notable? Speciate (talk) 21:19, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I do think he's notable - but it's very tough finding good sources, which is frustrating...Modernist (talk) 21:23, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * This link indicates that he has exhibited at LUX, plus some galleries in Germany and New York. More importantly, he exhibited at the 2005 Florence Biennale. No sources yet, but those exhibitions go towards notability if not verifiability. (Note: the link provided is not a useful source, it's just provided for information). It's possible that he may be notable as a composer, given his film work.  freshacconci  talk talk  02:08, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Saying that an artist is notable from the galleries he has had an opening at doesn't make him notable. What we would need is a review of his art in a journal, you know, after the reviewer has seen the art at the gallery. Suppose some film was shown at Sundance Film Festival but did not elicit any commentary from anybody. Could there be an article on it? I say no. Speciate (talk) 07:35, 3 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete the source added is not independent so doesn't help with notability. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 21:36, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as a non-notable artist and non-notable author. With a surname like that it shouldn't be hard to find anything about him (rather than by him) in the Google-osphere. Unfortunately I can't find anything of note. Sionk (talk) 23:02, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
