Clifford Bailey: Their work has not been included in significant exhibitions nor is it held in collections of notable museums or national galleries.  Most of the citations are either simple name check mentions or are photo credits; one citation is a personal blog.  No enduring record of critical reviews or art historical articles/book chapters or the like.

Not listed in the Getty ULAN.  Not meeting notabilit requirements for artists.  Oaktree b ( talk ) 19:42, 10 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment/defense .  I got the deletion notice as the creator of the page.  I spent extra time looking for more credible sources via Google.  I found and added  4 extra sources that prove the artist staged regular exhibitions of his paintings in notable nightclubs, galleries, boutiques and private homes.  Here are they https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/08/realestate/gilbert-gottfrieds-chelsea-apartment.html This New York Times states "Gottfried's high school friend Clifford Bailey, an artist, had a show in New York, she and Mr. Gottfried were in attendance" https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/06/spongebob-squarepants-fraud-peggy-howell-ninjas-art-theft This features Bailey extensively https://www.nashvillescene.com/arts_culture/clifford-baileys-i-the-american-i-at-ovvio-arte/article_8e9c9bad-9217-5b79-a9fc-395b6acc20c9.html This features Bailey extensively https://www.mutualart.com/Artist/Clifford-Bailey/9978C3E0F66D240B This features Bailey's works I strongly believe with the above sources coupled with the previous ones, the page now meets WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST .  Please consider keeping the page.  Thanks.  Quche Huzubi ( talk ) 06:27, 12 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Thank you for your comment.  The NYT source is one sentence, not SIGCOV, and the article is about another person.  Vanity Fair article is about another person, there are a few sentences about Baily being upset that the other person "copied" his work.  The Nashville Scene is a five sentence synopsis that seem based on a press release.  Mutual Art is a database, that hosts auction records and the like, any artist or gallery can open up an "account" with them; it's a primary database source.  This is not the sort of in-depth independent SIGCOV that one normally finds for a notable artist, this is run-of-the-mill coverage; it's not enough for an artist to simply do what artists do, which is make work and occasionally show it.  There are hundreds of thousands of artists like that in the U.S. alone.  Unfortunately I am not seeing how any of this is enough to pass notability criteria for NARTIST nor GNG.

He has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, or won significant critical attention, or been represented within the permanent collections of any notable galleries or museums.  Seems more like WP:PROMO -- WomenArtistUpdates ( talk ) 21:28, 14 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.  Please do not modify it.
