Don Christensen (artist)

I'm unconvinced that WP:NARTIST is met. Hufpo is the best source, but interviews are not great for establishing notability. Next best is NYT but he is not the subject of it and it does not discuss his art. Coverage in local newspapers is of no use for determining notability. SmartSE (talk) 20:32, 19 January 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 04:14, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:ARTIST. exhibits, awards are unsourced, and difficult to find.   #1 is primary. #2 is a blog post. #3 is the best of the lot, but it is in the the local paper in one of the wolrd's most internecine art communities #4 the NYTimes is about his activity as a collector of another artist. # 5 is about a film about a childhood friend of Christensen's #6 is a listing about an exhibition organized by Christensen as a collector # 7 is primary and # 8 is about a group exhibition in the Hamptons in which his work was included.  All in all, it adds up to proof that Christensen is extremely well-connected in the Hamptons, that he is the close friend of artists, and the sibling of an artist, but not that he is notable in his own right either as a collector or as an artist.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:58, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
