Ken Gentle (Blacktop)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Only a few references found mentioning him at minor art galleries; featured publications he's been in don't have pages Falcon8765 (talk) 16:34, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - WP:ARTIST details the criteria, and as far as I can see, Ken Gentle has not pioneered a new technique, been the subject of significant third party coverage, been a major participant in a significant exhibition, etc. Aditya (talk) 17:23, 27 August 2009 (UTC)Ken Gentles Wiki page is an infomercial- its self serving- and the info is debatable base on no real history-- this artist has morfted other artists styles-- it is not worthy of a wiki page--


 * Keep - subject has been covered by a number of art magazines and other reliabel sources including this cover story, this indepth interview for a local TV station, a short writeup in NY Arts magazine, an in depth write up in the Piedmont Review magazine, and an extensive writeup in docnews. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:44, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

"Delete" yeas he has been covered in commercial tourist magazines not "art mags"- If every artist who had a shallow showing resume and spotty write ups could be qualify as a wiki subject then, open the flood gates!, but i don't think Mr Gentle claims on his infomercial are nothing more than his artist statements with a few writes ups to back him up, maybe this all it takes to get on here, wiki want general information, like advertisement does that count? if so than keep him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.65.155.89 (talk) 22:23, 27 August 2009 (UTC) "Delete" per nom. Clearly fails WP:ARTIST. Eusebeus (talk) 15:39, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
