Talk:Ian Schrager

message: Is the fact that Ian Schrager was arrested, convicted, and incarcerated for tax evasion relevant? It is well documented, it is included on the Studio 54 page, and on his partner Steve Rubell's page, as well and the cited reference in the New York Times. 74.68.152.245 (talk) 20:42, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Here, you can see in the NYTimes alone how many times they mention it when you search for "Ian Schrager tax evasion". Ian Schrager and Studio 54 are famous.  74.68.152.245 (talk) 20:44, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Absolutely. With appropriate reliable and verifiable sources, details of his conviction and incarceration are relevant and appropriate for inclusion here. Alansohn (talk) 21:06, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Removed it, and I thank you for making it explicit that it's okay to do so. Leaving an RFC tag behind is easy to fix; figuring out whether it can be removed isn't so easy. ^_^ arimareiji (talk) 17:10, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: RfC: Is Schrager's Criminal Conviction and Incarceration relevant?

message: The way I see it, if there some other article (say, in the design or architecture sections) that talks about "effortless living", then Shrager can have credit for it. But it is wrong to create lift  ideas like that and "lobby socializing" from the hotel marketing materials. Anyway, I removed this much, and probably what's left could use some clean up:
"Currently, he is redesigning the bohemian landmark Gramercy Park Hotel in a collaboration with artist Julian Schnabel, which is scheduled to open in spring 2006 and will present a completely new and unexpected model for a Schrager hotel.
"Now Schrager turns his attention to residential living. His first residential project, 50 Gramercy Park North, will provide luxury residences adjacent to the only private park in New York City. The project introduces the concept of "effortless living" and lifestyle management, where owners benefit from a fully staffed household 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without the bother of managing it, the full expense of maintaining it or any loss of privacy. Scheduled for occupancy later this year, the project is designed by London architect John Pawson, designer of the Calvin Klein store in Manhattan. Schrager is also in the process of developing 40 Bond, designed by eminent Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, which combines luxury apartments and townhouses - the first townhouses built in New York City in decades. In addition, he is planning residential and hotel projects in New York and Miami and an entire residential community with recreational and entertainment facilities in Las Vegas."
Shrager has done more than most to harm New York by turning communities into upper class shopping malls. Any real new yorker would be glad to hear the guy died of aids, and happy to watch him suffer. This is not a good person your dealing with, so try to get a little of how this guy relates to the communities he tears down to give the super-rich a new bobble to show their freinds for a month.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.164.37.106 (talk) 23:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
