It has been suggested that I was wrong to userfy this guy. Could I have a notability check please? (Treat my nomination as abstain!) -- RHaworth 09:29, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Although there are *some* links in to this article, none of them strike me as significant; the content doesn't ring *any* bells with me, and there appear, currently, bto be no links-out. Weak delete -- Simon Cursitor 14:28, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep.    and a few hundred more. Clearly viewed as notable in his field. How about a speedy keep,you two? Monicasdude 02:08, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Guys- I'm really sorry I created all of this. When I sat down and followed links to video art (as I explained to roger) I found all the usual subjects listed. There's a hundred unlisted artists who should be on this list and sorry, yes roger, vain or no, I should be in there. It's a matter of history really. We didn't all do this work for no reason. It was amatter of comittment. Anyway, the list is the list and I sat down and thought right I'm going to write the bio and put in info about myself and some of the people I knew doing this stuff. What's nice about Wikipedia is that histories can be written NOW - and also by those that were making that history. This is fundamentally different from his story as written in normal encyclopedias - this is a digital change. I completely understand the issue about all and sundry writing themselves as heroes in their own lunchtime and maybe I do fit that category - dunno, I shall make the work anyway and my day job pays for the art. I've talked to a few other people in the area and at this moment other histories are being written (the Rewind Project at DUncan of Jordanstone in Dundee) but wether they can outweigh the official histories time will tell. Hang in there and of course whatever you choose so be it.
