GNG fail. The article is largely sourced to a personal memoir. I can't find evidence of the artist's work, nor reviews. Not to be confused with Bill Hudson (1944), an artist from Baltimore. Someone made the claim on the talk page that this Hudson is innovative for burning his paintings in 2012, but John Baldessari did that in the 1970s.

Delete He received minor news coverage for burning his paintings, but little else. I looked up the seemingly impressive journal reference (On The "Immediacy" of Art) on JSTOR, but the article doesn't mention the artist. Curiocurio (talk) 17:13, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as there isn't significant coverage. The JSTOR article is about someone else.--Theredproject (talk) 22:21, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There are no reliable sources with significant coverage. Almost all references in the article refer to Bill Hudson's memoir, a primary source. Therefore we can neither verify GNG or NARTIST.FriDaInformation (talk) 17:14, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
