Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Terry Hoff
there has been some coverage, as is clearly mentioned in the article. Much of that coverage is not available online. What we do have online is all by the same author. For an active artist, it is somewhat surprising to see that coverage pretty much stops about 15 years ago. That's possible, of course, and notability is not temporary. I've looked a bit closer at the awards; the Grand Award of the San Diego Art Institute was a pay-to exhibit juried art show, with a $2000 prize. https://web.archive.org/web/20081116114556/http://sandiego-art.org/international/intl_begin_new.php and is not the kind of award that would satisfy , neither is  the California Discovery Gold Award, which I've only found mentions of in sources related to Hoff. The SECA Art Award at SF MOMA is an award for a local artist from a very notable institution with a modest cash prize. There are two problems; he is listed as finalist, but the award was not given in 1999 (it's biennial). The Eureka Fellowship is more indicative of notability. In the same year that Hoff received it, so did Jim Campbell (artist)|Jim Campbell , Geoffrey Chadsey, Sergio De La Torre, Lewis deSoto, Todd Hido and Stephanie Syjuco. The real problem I have with this subject is the lack of available material; I can't find anything that could sustain an article. We have almost nothing we could say about him. If he were a professional soccer player from Liechtenstein who played only one game, the AfD would have been an obvious keep, of course, but because we're writing about a visual artist, our standards are much, much higher
