Deletion of Jason Baerg

Comment: There are more references than currently listed in the article, but any claim to notability is weak, and I think he fails almost all notability criteria for Creative professionals. Per : 1) He is not regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors. 2) He is not known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique. 3) His work has not been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. 4a) His work has not become a significant monument. 4b) His work has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition. 4c) His work has not won significant critical attention. 4d) His work is not represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. This claim: "He has won several art awards from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council" is an exaggeration. As far as I can tell, he has won the Emerging Artist Award for the Premier’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts and was awarded http://canadacouncil.ca/~/media/files/research%20-%20en/profiles%20of%20canada%20council%20funding%20to%20artists%20and%20arts%20organizations%20%20national%20overview%20provincial%20and%20territorial%20profiles/2006-07-on200607en.pdf one grant from the Canada Council. I can't find any sources that call the Emerging Artist Award 'prestigious'. Unlike receiving a notable award, receiving a grant does not make an artist notable

Comment: I think he just meets . In addition to the http://www.thestar.com/business/small_business/money/2007/11/26/visual_artist_gets_financially_creative.html Toronto Star article on him that's already in the Wikipedia article, we see http://www.themanitoban.com/2014/01/jason-baerg-goes-back-home-future/18119/ this story on him from the University of Manitoba newspaper ''Manitoban'', http://mixedbagmag.com/2014/02/jason-baerg/ this piece in webzine ''Mixedbagmag'' and http://www.cbc.ca/news/aboriginal/artists-score-points-at-north-american-indigenous-games-1.2717513 this coverage by CBC News. My own personal rule of thumb for "multiple" sources is three and I think he just meets that, when taken as a whole. I agree with the nominator that it's borderline but I land just over the ''other'' side of that line. I don't think he meets any of the other criteria of  btw. His work has been exhibited but not significantly enough, at this time, from what I can see. So I do believe it's GNG or bust. best
