Timothy John Olsen

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Very poorly referenced article about a non-notable living person, that seems to fail WP:GNG. The draft was declined in AfC and was moved to the mainspace afterwards. Coreykai (talk) 03:26, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment I've opened a discussion regarding the creator's promotional history on behalf of the Olsen family here . 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:31, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. Clearly promotional and with no signs of notability. Lennart97 (talk) 13:23, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete – There are two or three significant independent sources cited in the article, but I don't think it's enough to satisfy notability. GA-RT-22 (talk) 03:00, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Participants in this discussion might want to consider if and how a article on his autobiography Son of the Brush contributes to the subject's notability. Vexations (talk) 17:14, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That article should definitely be deleted as well. Is it too late to include it in this nomination? Lennart97 (talk) 18:22, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV. His gallery exists, but it's currently closed in NYC, and was nowhere near notable: it's not on the popular downtown gallery map. I found a passing mention in an article about aborigine art in the Washington Post, and a more extensive piece in Brooklyn Rail, but that's it. I am something of a culture vulture in NYC and Fire Island, and I've never heard of him or his gallery. Bearian (talk) 22:20, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , there's also a review in Artforum. I've also added wikilinks from pages that mention the gallery that were either redlinked to Tim Olsen Gallery or not linked at all. From what I've seen so far, all coverage that exists that is about him or his gallery is derived from his autobiography. There is almost no independent coverage.
