I only ask this because I tried to delete this a few days ago and "someone" aka "Waitformyturn" removed the delete and wrote a long rant about something in the talk section defending "you". Quite similar to the long rant you just gave above. If you really do not want this article to exist like you claim above I will put it up for delete again and won't expect "Waitformyturn" to remove the delete. |

P.S. Sharon Grace nor Tony Labat don't even know (or probably care) about this fiasco going on about your Wikipedia article. Please stop dragging them into this. I only asked Sharon if she said the quote about you being the most relevant artist of your generation and she said no.

Notability?
I'm having a hard time satisfying myself that Lawrence passes notability. Anyone else have an opinion? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 01:56, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Regarding notability.
I agree with the previous comment. This guy is known for having a bunch of aliases (Roberta Soltea, Whitler Pratphall) to promote himself. I don't think he should be on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Garydebussy (talk • contribs) 17:44, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
how does someone report this guy?
i agree. i go to school with this guy. he has never "worked" with tony labat... he tried out for something tony held open auditions for. and sharon grace never said that either. everyone else he listed are just friends of his from school. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Modestprotest (talk • contribs) 22:35, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Nominated for deletion
I am requesting that this article be deleted for several reasons listed below:
1. I have a very strong suspicion that Peter Max Lawrence not only created this article, but has been the only one maintaining it. If you look at the history (administrators can see IP addresses) almost all the names listed there like WhtPratphall, Pratphall, Verdequete, Waitformyturn are probably linked to the same IP address. These "users" also have no userpages, and therefore, makes me think they are just aliases of Peter's to promote himself on Wikipedia. Almost -ALL- the links go to his own website and Paper Waster Press is also his company. Wikipedia is NOT a RESUME website.
2. Peter Max Lawrence logged on as Waitformyturn was the one who removed my initial request for deletion from this page. This is why I have now submitted it for debate by other Wikipedia users. I am sure I will find more aliases of Peter's on here defending himself, and would like honest Wikipedia users to intervene.
3. In the history section Peter Max Lawrence logged on as Waitformyturn also slanders a student at the San Francisco Art Institute by putting a link to his myspace page. I assume he is blaming this person for the problems he is experiencing on Wikipedia. He also has slandered other users who have made comments on this talk page under the name "Roberta Soltea" and wrote a lengthy open letter to one of the users about how "Roberta Soltea" is a real person. I removed that nonsense from the talk page.
4. Basically this article is causing a lot of problems on here and more importantly, it is completely, a self-made vanity article and should be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Modestprotest (talk • contribs) 20:30, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Note from the 'subject'
It has recently been brought to my attention that a dispute has erupted around this wiki page. I would like to state clearly that I have had very little to do with the content of this page other than minor edits several months back. Originally in 2006(during T. Labats class) I did create this wiki page under my name with the intention of producing a very simple temporary work of art that spoke to the fragility of ego conflated with the current issue surrounding the malleability of information found on sites like wikipedia. The documentation to this project exists and I was completely satisfied with the work as it stood. At some point in the following weeks someone completely other than myself and unknown propped back up a new version of that text. This did not come to my attention for several months. I took no action because it seemed to be a humorous and unexpected development(not to mention in the spirit of the site itself). That said, I have absolutely no stake in the page and would be indifferent to its demise. I would however like to find clarification in some puzzling issues that have continually been brought to my doorstep. I have been plagued by a phantom hacker and anonymous slanderer of my work. I was originally under the impression that it was one particular individual, but as of late, it has become apparent that there are at least a two, if not a small gang of bandits who have specifically targeted me and apparently my relationships with former collaborators as well as instructors from SFAI. From these simple actions I have deduced a few obvious candidates (one of which seems to be using this forum for their own promotion and or they, too, are being targeted). Various actions falsely lead an overtly obvious trail back to the subject of the page, namely me. A similar tactic was used to send out mass emails atributed to me through the SFAI system earlier in the year. I would like to state clearly for the record that not only am I indifferent to the existence of this page; I am very disturbed by anyone who would purposely drag false information about people who I admire and respect deeply into such a childish slander. I am fully prepared to defend the attacks on myself and work, but to include others is quite disturbing even in the 'art' world.
Quick notes of point.
1) Roberta Soltea is not an alias of mine.
2) Whitler Pratphall is most definitely an alias of mine(This is an obvious fact to anyone who has ever been to my site). Apparently it has been co-opted by another user with the intention to defame me.
3) I have absolutely no idea who is working on this page and am somewhat disturbed that I have become a consistent target by both sides(or one devious individual).
4) Whomever is doing this obviously knows a bit about me and has cobbled together information from my social life and personal web site.
5) The image that has been up on the page for the past year was taken from the press images section of my site(or possibly KQED). I declined to dispute it due to the fact that I had already offered it up to the public as a free access-able download.
6) Lastly, the anonymity from all parties involved is quite telling in and of itself.
Though I cannot control the 'strange beasts' that surround me; I can control my own actions. I do not seek a vanity page as I already have my own site. I do not seek a resume builder and find that claim to be ridiculous, insulting and overtly transparent.
With that all said, I am asking for the wiki page to be taken down immediately; if possible. Having no control over a dispute that surrounds my name, character and lively-hood is proving to be a social sculpture that holds absolutely no interest to me. I have spent the vast majority of my life collaborating and encouraging other artists to make work that expresses themselves and challenges others to seek positive solutions to personal problems.
Although I cannot apologize or take responsibility for actions committed by others; I can offer sincere sympathy to those people who were dragged into this absurd discussion and mess specifically Sharon, Tony and Jarrett. I truly hope you have not been offended or incensed by this disturbing turn of events.
best of luck,
Peter Max Lawrence
p.s. - Note to those involved: I sincerely feel deep sorrow for those people in this world who have nothing better to do with their time than to spend it loitering among and vandalizing the reputations of people like myself. I hope this isn't your only outlet for creativity, because if it is - it makes me very depressed.
