This is a very carefully written article with lots of references that seeks to prop up a single work by an artist. The problem is that the text is loaded with references to anything other than the work itself, which has very dubious notability as it is essentially a small run publication for an exhibtion. Article is a huge long essay essentially. Article creator has user name shockingly similar to Author of Patafunctions. With all the obfuscation goign on, like with COI. I suggest it is better ot blow this one out of the water and start over-- if needed. (the same may also be true of the gigantic [[Shaun Gladwell]] page. There seems to be abit of a campaign going on. ) [[User:HappyValleyEditor|HappyValleyEditor]] ([[User talk:HappyValleyEditor|talk]]) 15:02, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

* '''Delete''' - I was going to write something about the [[exegesis]] of [[culture|cultural]] [[hermeneutics]] in [[existential]] [[artist]]ico-[[metaphysical]] [[dialogue]], but decided simply to say that [[WP:BOLLOCKS|a load of nonsense]] wrapped up with a few [[primary source]]s and a link to [[De Chirico|a dead artist]]'s work doesn't add up to [[WP:N|notability]].

'''Keep''' but NPOV with criticism from supporters and detractors: Judd's article is for: https://www.artlink.com.au/articles/4334/shaun-gladwell-the-lacrima-chair-collection2B/ Whereas MacDonald is totally against

::'''Comment'''[[User:Zenopharmakon|Zenopharmakon]]: with respect, the two refs you mention are not very strong. The first is one sentence, and the second is two sentences and it does not even mention "Patafunctions" directly, just obliquely. The second is very fine writing that would fit very nicely into the main article. [[User:HappyValleyEditor|HappyValleyEditor]] ([[User talk:HappyValleyEditor|talk]]) 18:35, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

[[User:HappyValleyEditor|HappyValleyEditor]], I'm all for inclusion of the John McDonald criticism within the article itself. McDonald is a very powerful voice in Australian art criticism and seems to enjoy critically engaging/demolishing Gladwell. McDonald's comments also intended to be included in Gladwell's bio under a "criticisms" section. However, I'm no longer editing the page(s) before working out COI issues. [[User:Gladderz|Gladderz]] ([[User talk:Gladderz|talk]]) 23:26, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

::'''Comment''' This article features the clearest description of this book/artwork but cannot be used due to its Author's COI and clearly placed disclosure statement at the top of the article. Kit Messham-Muir is the self appointed 'official' Gladwell biographer/interlocuter/collaborator. http://theconversation.com/shaun-gladwell-is-returning-to-sydney-and-may-not-shed-tears-37348 Other forums are debating the books content rather than seeing it as an artwork etc. [[User:Gladderz|Gladderz]] ([[User talk:Gladderz|talk]]) 12:55, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
