J. P. McMeekin

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This artist seems to not meet WP:ARTIST. Only one of the sources seems to discuss him to any degree beyond passing reference and that is not much more than a blurb on a probably non reliable source. ALXVA (talk) 21:32, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Malicious Editing You should be aware that ALXVA has been systematically posting deletion notices on contributions by Drmissio. This has occurred after a heated discussion about Fred J. Strain and Who’s_Who_in_Nebraska. He won deletion for Fred J. Strain which was totally wrong. He lost deletion for the time being on Who’s_Who_in_Nebraska. He also lost deletion of Mary_Lincoln_Crume. He has posted for deletion the following contributions:


 * J. P. McMeekin on April 28
 * Mary_Lincoln_Crume on April 21

ALXVA should be censored for his actions. To systematically look through a contributor's list of contributions and then attempt to get them deleted is malicious. This is why you will see that Drmissio has left Wikipedia for good. Drmissio (talk) 18:16, 19 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - Take your complaints to WP:ANI if you feel that is appropriate. This article is in AfD and will be judged on its merits.  How it got here does not concern us.  If it deserves to stay, it will stay.     talk 01:02, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Nothing in the article suggests the artist is notable. Perhaps something of greater significance can be teased out of the list of sources...--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 22:38, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep unless anyone can explain convincingly why the list of print sources given in the section J. P. McMeekin is not sufficient. See also WP:HB.  Ty  18:05, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete provisionally. Changed because of concerns over verification. The editor who could perhaps satisfy this has departed. If material in the article (exhibitions, inclusion in books listed in "further information" section) could be properly substantiated with page numbers, quotations from sources etc., then I would be for keep. No prejudice to recreation if these conditions are satisfied.  Ty  01:33, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Based on its HTML formatting, I would guess that the listing is cut and pasted from this pay site, the online version of the Artists' Blue Book, already listed as a reference. A Google Books search of the print version Artists' Blue Book does not indicate a listing. Regardless, there is no indication that these sources cover him in anything other more than a passing or trivial way. There is no indication or even assertion, that this person meets WP:ARTIST, and I do not think anything else meets WP:BASIC. I'm open to somebody showing the kind of in-depth or multiple significant pieces required by WP:BASIC, but it isn't there now and I can't find it. ALXVA (talk) 19:14, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Can't find any sources in google scholar or local uni library. -- Nuujinn (talk) 00:24, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak delete - Appears to have local notability, but not much more than that. If anyone has any sources that prove otherwise (and can satisfy WP:ARTIST), now would be the time to produce them.    talk 01:04, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
