Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (The subject is a significant American artist with a long record of exhibition and critical reception. Ischar's art has been widely, if quietly, influential -- especially among younger queer artists -- and should be represented on Wikipedia. The article was not created by the artist or his associates, but rather by a writer with a keen interest in expanding recent histories of conceptual and queer art.) --Barraque (talk) 19:06, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the speedy deletion notice and moved instead to a proposed deletion. This gives you seven days to find the multiple published, independent sources that are substantially about Ischar to show how he is notable and meets Wikipedia's standards for articles about living people. Good luck, Sparthorse (talk) 19:11, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your input, and for making possible some extra time to add sources to the article. Best wishes,Barraque —Preceding undated comment added 19:21, 20 November 2011 (UTC).[reply]

External links[edit]

Just a note: Today I removed the links from the Golden Gallery, the gallery that currently represents Ischar's art and replaced them with links from not-for-profit online art spaces or collections that display Ischar's work, since there should be no conflict of interest with links.
