[edit] Joe Jacks

Joe Jacks (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable artist - zero non-wikipedia Google hits for "Silver and Spiders" OR "Silver & Spiders"; no relevant hits for "Joe Jacks"+artist or "Benjamin Jacks"+artist. Prod removed by author with comment: Hello. I would like the article to stay. While i admit that i haven't encountered him outside my college art books, i think he is relevant enough and i will search my textbooks more better information. Nothing has been added since then (almost a month ago). Delete due to lack of evidence of notability. ... discospinster _talk 12:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Appears to be unverifiable through any source but the book source stated in the article, and that appears to be a simple mention, rather than substantive treatment. I also searched Google with both names and "abstract", as well as Google books, and since he is stated to be from New York, the New York Times archive [1], [2] under both his real name and his assumed name with no relevant results.--Fuhghettaboutit 13:46, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep I have found more information in a school text, by Anna Moszynska, a book called "Abstract Art". It's mostly summary details ,(exact date of birth and other pieces attributed to him) but it enhances the quality of the article for a reader. I think that's as good as i can do, he's not a famous man i am the first to admit, i just feel an abstract artist from that formative period deserves a name check and brief bio, especially on a website such as this. We have a very large college library of art texts and i will continue the labour of love if the article can remain. Thanks for your time Stuedgar 01:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)stuedgar
• Keep based on stuedgar's improvement. We've kept stubs worse than this one. It has a reference now. YechielMan 15:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
