Old entry edit

The CV of Tjebbe van Tijen is in the public as it is published on his website: http://imaginarymuseum.org/TJCV.html It needs of course to be edited anew, as I propose to do it, in several phases, in order to distinguish between his work as artist, activist, and librarian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbg1971 (talkcontribs)

In case this is what you intended by mentioning that it's published on his website: Being publicly visible on the Web doesn't mean something is in the public domain, that it can be reproduced by others without restriction. Largoplazo (talk) 19:58, 2 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
Also, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia with reference articles about notable subjects, not a place for posting people's CV. Largoplazo (talk) 23:08, 4 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

suggestion edit

I would be tempted to nominate this article for deletion for lack of independent, reliable sources and failure to meet the WP:GNG were it not that van Tijen himself, presumably, has listed a fair number of sources at http://imaginarymuseum.org/TJCV.html#a09 that show that the subject may very well meet the requirements of the GNG and WP:ARTIST. The article can be rewritten by summarizing what those sources say. Writing an article first and then finding the sources later tends to not work so well.

I added more than a dozen good refs. Article has now survived AFD twice. If you look at the history, he made a major contribution to innovation in early city-based artworks, and later with this imaginary museum projects.104.163.159.237 (talk) 06:39, 11 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
