Contested PROD. prod removed by SPA without comment, though he did add a few lines to the article; however, the lines don't meet WP:V. Basically, these are two nn artists; article lists a lot of artwork they've made, but provides no evidence that they've achieved any particular notability outside of "interactive media" social circles.

Speedy Keep: From the article: ''Articles about their work have appeared in Art in America, Artnews, Artforum, The Wire, dArt International, Spin Magazine, Feed, and The Independent. They won a Wired Magazine Rave Award, in the Art Category for 2005. Their work is held in collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, and MUDAM.'' A quick search of the Met site reveals this. That seems a little big larger than '"interactive media" social circles'. Put a tag in the article to get solid, reliable, references in there. Putting it up for deletion is wrong step at this point. *Sparkhead 18:04, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * You seem to be confusing "claims" with "sources" there with your quote from the article. --Calton | Talk 02:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Not at all. I included the claims and sourced one of them (the Met), stating the remainder could probably be sourced and the time should be given to the article to expand sources (once a references tag is placed within it).   *Sparkhead  02:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

 * keep I forgot to log in before I did it but I've added references to the purchases by MoMA and MUDAM, and I think it's fairly safe to say that any 'interactive artists' who have sold work to the Met, MUDAM and MoMA should be considered quite notable indeed. Also I'm not an SPA, I've written one other entry as well. That makes me at least DPA. Also, actor Bill Paxton wants this article to stay too. Thousandsofcolors 18:28, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * keep I created the page because these guys are awesome artists. Now that smart, hard-working folks have gone through and actually backed this up with research, it's unassailable. - JustinHall 23:53, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
