Fails WP:ACADEMIC. Politzer has not had a large influence in his field (digital media), and there is largely unsourced material in the article. The New York Times source in the article which is prominently featured only mentions Politzer in a passing mention of an otherwise minor art exhibition. The Houston Center for Photography Carol Crow Fellowship Award, which is the only award mentioned in the article, is not enough to make the case for WP:ACADEMIC.

Delete I found some passing refs from reliable sources but insufficient to establish notability. What might do it per WP:ANYBIO is his residency at Yaddo -- that's a very selective honor. One of the qualifying options at WP:ANYBIO is:
- "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times"

For now, I'm assuming that Yaddo's not enough but I defer to any more knowledgeable editors that show up here. I'll also leave a note at Talk:Yaddo.

Delete The article is full of dead links, press releases, and primary sources. I am not finding any RS to bring this up to notable.--WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 18:09, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This artist and professor does not meet WP:NACADEMIC nor WP:GNG. While I agree with A.B. that Yaddo is a prestigious residency, it's not enough to meet WP:ANYBIO, over 6,500 artists have received residencies there, which averages 65 residencies per year.
