I have added the deletion tag because I believe the artist is non notable and that the article has a strong ring of promotion. V. Joe (talk) 20:36, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment It might be self-promotional, and perhaps a bad article (I haven't looked yet) - but I can tell you I'm pretty sure he's a notable enough NY new media guy. I'll find more info if possible. More soon. Deadchildstar (talk) 00:37, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - his own website here has 100% verifiable links/pdfs to coverage in Art in America, New York Times, interviewed (by Cory Arcangel) on Rhizome_(art) (one of the top new media art organizations, affiliated with the New Museum in nyc), various local newsprint press across the US. Can probably find more if I hunt around. The article creator isn't him, as that user name belongs to another new media artist - likely a friend/colleage. I'm in Canada, and I've heard of Tom Moody (I read his blog), but I'm a new media person. Deadchildstar (talk) 00:56, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, 25 Ghits. Does not have enough third party coverage, and the article is awash with redlinks. Darrenhusted (talk) 01:01, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Deadchildstar, & that link. Digital artists are hard to assess, but he seems notable. Johnbod (talk) 01:54, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I love his blog, but I tried my hand at a neutral re-write of the article with inline citations. Let me know what you think. Deadchildstar (talk) 02:07, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Digital artist, video artist, seems viable, the article needs work...Modernist (talk) 04:10, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Deadchildstar. The press clippings at Tom Moody's website (archived link from WebCite) prove that he passes WP:BIO. Cunard (talk) 08:09, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
