[edit]Hang On!
Poster Boy is a newly famous New York Street artist. The Wikipedia stub sites three articles about his work, and several other links.
Wikipedia has several other articles about street artists, from the famous Keith Haring to the less well known Ellis Gallagher. Poster Boy is undoubtedly more well known in the New York graffiti world today that Ellis Gallagher, although both are established artists who's reputation (like that of Banksy) are growing.
Take a look at the links before deleting.
- Worth considering keeping. Was the subject of multiple independent stories in NY Times and Guardian newspaper here in the UK. --Oscarthecat (talk) 07:00, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
- The Guardian, yes. And New York Magazine, but I have not seen him in the NY Times. --AaronF2 (talk) 07:30, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
OK, as of Feb. 4th the New York Times: Randy Kennedy. “Poster Boy Is Caught, or Is It a Stand-In?“ New York Times, 3 February, 2009. (http://nytimes.com/2009/02/04/arts/design/04post.html?8dpc) —Preceding unsigned comment added by AaronF2 (talk • contribs) 01:25, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
This article now has many references, including one for each quote, and at least one and sometimes several for each paragraph. I think it is time to take down the “This article needs additional citations” {Refimprove|date=January 2009} tag. Anyone agree? --AaronF2 (talk) 18:22, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
This article is all mixed up. And it rushes into confusing the act of reconfiguring subway ads with the biography of one individual.
Starts with a narrative of someone born in 1983 to vague circumstances, later takes up the idea that poster boy is not one person but several, admitting that the person arrested (27 yo man, born in 1981) is just one amongst many.
Need to get a sense for what is actually being entered into the encyclopedia.
Plenty of people muck around with the subway ads, not the place to assert the agency of one person.
That is, who is actually "originator" here? Kind of a foolish task of figuring out who, whole idea needs to be reframed, need to reconsider issues of identity where anonymous action is the essential identifier. thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.146.48 (talk) 05:26, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
