Weston Teruya

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Withdrawn, per WP:HEY, thanks to Netherzone. I could find only a couple of articles that talk about his work in depth; most article sources are either trivial or not independent. GNG and WP:ARTIST fail. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:55, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment - Thank you for the feedback. I would like the opportunity for others to contribute to the page, if possible. Many thanks again for the feedback and comments. I greatly appreciate it. Dorothysantos (talk) 02:40, 4 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep Weak keep / comment. I have added sources, several of which are independent and discuss Teruya's art in detail.Gilded Snail (talk) 18:48, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * the sourcing remains deeply sketchy. For example the Art In America profile looks good, until you realize that it was written by his close collaborator at Related Tactics, Michele Carlson. The main items mentioned int he article (residencies, curated some shows, got a few grants) are just run of the mill artist activities. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 19:58, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Oops, I didn't even see the author of that profile. thanks for pointing out. the SF gate source and the SFAC press release seem fine, but it's dubious. Gilded Snail (talk) 21:03, 29 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment - This may be a case of WP:TOOSOON. The artist is certainly interesting, as is his collective Related Tactics. I noticed on the collective's website that he has a more comprehensive bio than we find here on his WP article, but not sure if it's enough w/o cited work in museum collections. Netherzone (talk) 14:00, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment #2 - I looked a little deeper and I found a list of collections on his CV (there are also additional exhibitions to be found there but I did not look into whether there are reviews.) I added a section to his article, "Collections" and found citations for three of them, which have been added to the article. Netherzone (talk) 00:04, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Nice work! I correct the URL for MIlls college and withdrew the nomination per WP:HEY.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:13, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Despite the fact that the nominator has withdrawn, a delete !vote remains in the discussion, so this cannot be closed with a speedy keep result. More input is needed for a consensus to hopefully be formed.

 * Keep - I've added content and citations to collections, shows and residencies; artist now meets WP:NARTIST and WP:GNG. He has shown at museums such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; important art centers, such as the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art; his work is featured in several collections including the Mills College Art Museum; he was an Artist in Residence at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. Article can be improved but should not be deleted. Netherzone (talk) 19:28, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
