 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not widely cited, inventor of technique, creator of well-known work, primary subject of notable work. Still early in career. Work in galleries and museums is minor. Coverage seems mostly confined to internet and interviews. Not sole subject typically. Cleoera (talk) 17:02, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep the first thing I found WP:BEFORE !voting were event announcements for MOMA and another major museum. Those are not good sources, but are indicators that one should search more. Then A Gnews search shows this short piece in Artforum, another mention in Hyperallergenic and this video on the Whitney Museuem of American Art's site where a critic talks at length about Gary's work. GNG is very clearly met. (also, being included in a recent important exhibition at the Whitney is hardly minor.)ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:49, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Pinging for his input as this is a NY art subject.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:51, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Note that the nominator's account is a few days old, and they have only used it to place notability templates and to nominate this article and another for AfD.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:17, 5 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep per ThatMontrealIP's arguments. This one seems pretty straightforward. The MoMA solo screening, and the Whitney show are substantive. There are sufficient reviews. GNG and WP:ARTIST are met. --Theredproject (talk) 20:34, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment she is also in the Whitney permanent collection! This should be closed as speedy keep.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:23, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
