Guy Tarrant

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I couldn't verify that he meets WP:ARTIST or WP:GNG. Teacher who has exhibited, but this seems to just be a coi advert. Tagged for notability for over 7 years, unresolved; hopefully we can now resolve it. Boleyn (talk) 12:13, 15 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment: I wonder if he meets WP:ARTIST. Mhhossein (talk) 13:53, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Note Not to be confused with New Zealander architect Guy Tarrant who was an artist in his youth. Colapeninsula (talk) 13:58, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment This is ripe for wiki-lawyering, but if you accept that his show Confiscation Cabinets at the Victoria and Albert Museum's Museum of Childhood, London was an art show (i.e. that Tarrant was acting in his capacity as an artist when he created it), then he meets WP:ARTIST thanks to coverage of his work in legitimate publications. If you don't accept that it's art (even in these days when curation is art), then he may meet WP:GNG with all that coverage, but most is about the exhibition not him.

 * Weak delete So far this is a wp:blp1e and it is too early to know if there will be a 2nd Event. The exhibit looks to have been clever, and may on its own be notable, but the person himself is not (yet). LaMona (talk) 21:08, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - The sources in the article are mostly about the exhibition, not about Tarrant. Web searches turn up social media, and mentions of his exhibitions. Well, he assembled/collected the items, but that doesn't quite make him an artist. Kraxler (talk) 19:16, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
