Artist bio, edited principally by a close associate (see File:Thomas_a._bliss.jpg) and the subject himself. Subject does not appear to have received sufficient coverage in reliable, third-party sources to merit a standalone article; fails WP:ARTIST. Insufficient third-party coverage for a rewrite. -- Rrburke (talk) 03:28, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

THE ARTICLE CONTAINS ONLY VERIFIABLE FACTS AND AS SUCH IS NOT SUBJECT TO DELETION. GIVEN THAT NO OPINIONS ARE EXPRESSED, THE FACT THAT I HAVE MET MR. PISER IS IRRELEVANT. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tbliss558 (talk • contribs) 02:56, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Verifiability is of course essential. But what is also required is that the subject meet notability guidelines. I'm not seeing that here. Also, it is rude to shout in all caps. It does not make your point more clearly. Dloh cierekim  03:01, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm afraid I don't find substantial coverage from reliable sources. Does not meet WP:BIO or WP:N or WP:Artist. The sources in the article are trivial and not sufficient to sustain a claim of notability. The relationship of subject to editors or article is not relevant to me.

 * Do Not Delete I disagree that Mr.Piser "does not meet WP:Artist." Following is from that page: "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique." In fact, Mr. Piser's Daily Palette is the first recorded use of a vending machine to vend art. See http://www.callithump.org/art_vending_history/index.html  Sorry about the caps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tbliss558 (talk • contribs)
 * Saw that. It is not sufficient to meet the need for significant coverage. Dloh  cierekim  13:39, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
