 * Weak Delete, the article does not reflect anything that would make it under art, bio and so on yet there were independent expositions. If Strychnin can be confirmed even in a major gallery. The problems with the article outweigh the possibilities though. Alf photoman 16:54, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep - Stephen Kasner, as artist has had several shows, nationally and internationally, according to Google, and seems to be at least a marginally notable artist in the "horror art" field, if there is such a thing. Delete 0ther pages as non-notable. Badbilltucker 15:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I will go back and cite sources, etc. very shortly. I am just super busy and have been unable to do it in the past couple days since the controversy over this (and other pages I have contributed to) has arisen. rebecca 21:56, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
