The result was delete. The delete !voters make a slightly stronger argument here. However, it has been suggested that there may be sources in Chinese so if somebody does find additional sources they are welcome to create a new article. This might be the best route as it has been mentioned that the one we're discussing here is promotional in tone. Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:23, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tan Haur

Procedural reboot of an AFD in which an editor removed the AfD notice from the article. Artist of arguable notability under WP:ARTIST.

In my opinion, the closest things to significance are the residency reference and maybe the show exhibition press releases. Note that the Saatchi stuff is essentially self-published (Artists can simply create their own, as I have created one for myself, there is no editorial verification of the uploaded information.)

Other than that point, I'd ask that my nomination not be considered a delete or a keep !vote, simply procedural.

I'd ask everyone looking at this to insure that the AfD notice is not removed this time around. -- joe deckertalk to me 21:28, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • weak Keep There seem to be a number of awards, Would the nom care to comment on them? DGG ( talk ) 23:15, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment I don't have any prior knowledge on any of them, so far I've looked at the SI Foundation, and was able (a few minutes back) to find verification of that award to Tan Haur on their site. In looking for secondary coverage of the award, (e.g., is getting the award a Big Deal?) in English I found only [1] from gnews archives, well, that and a story that's offline now. The article I linked suggests just under 200 recipients in the last decade from Signapore, and an average grant amount of circa $4K US. Not speaking Chinese, it's quite possible i"m missing Chinese-language sources. I am gratified to see the award is verifiable through a reliable source. More digging when I get a chance. --joe deckertalk to me 00:27, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
