I'm creating a new page with different content, the previous one was a redirect.
The article needs to be brought up to proper standards... it needs to start of with a solid lede section explaining who Mr. Hodges is, what he does, and why he is notable.
As best as I can make out, Mr. Hodges is a photographer of some sort. In which case, he needs to have his notability established through reference to reliable sources per: WP:Notability (people) paying close attention to the section on Creative professionals.
Without sources that establish his notability, this article is likely to be deleted. Blueboar ( talk) 14:09, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
One little assertion is newly sourced to this Myspace page. How does this square with " WP:V"? -- Hoary ( talk) 16:29, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
It appears that the British Museum of Erotic Art (BMEA) no longer exists. It did exist. What was it? It said of itself:
To me, a museum is a place that you expect to enter physically and look around. It's also likely to have educational or research purposes and functions. I can't see any of this here. Instead, BMEA seems a grand (or witty?) name for a website. Nothing wrong with that, but this article shouldn't imply that it really was (let alone is) a museum. I've therefore moved the reference, and I'm about to de-redlink it.

As representative of Hodges and his work I have a conflict of interest but would like information added to the article to demonstrate that Hodges meets Wikipedia's notability guideline for people. As such, I am providing the following information for the use of other editors:
In 2009 Hodges work was shown at the Cannes International Art Fair, at which time he was interviewed by TVN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PICRPYXTIL4
In January 2012, Hodges' work was featured as part of a group exhibition entitled "Art Erotica" at the "The Gallery in Cork Street", London, as referenced in this article: http://theroamingeye.wordpress.com/2012/01/18/photo-shows-the-first-art-erotica-show-opens-in-london-tomorrow/. Please note that it is quoted therein "Art Erotica will benefit a selected charity and will be juried, with submitted work carefully and rigorously chosen for exhibition by a panel drawn from leading figures in the UK art world", Hodges being one of the juried artists in question.
Hodges is also known by the his Chinese name 湯武士 (Ping Yin "Tang Wu Shi")
In May 2012, Hodges was interviewed and featured in Los Angeles based online magazine FVM Global, wherein it cites his inspirations (the page requests a citation source and this is one): http://fvmglobalmagazine.com/ThomasHodges2012.html. The article also states "Natural lighting in his works is a fascination of Hodges and its manipulation is his forte". The latter may be used as a source of correction, as his Wikipedia page currently states "He believes that he excels in the manipulation and control of light", which is inaccurate edit, following the deletion of a previous third-party reference to his use of light, not "He believes".
In October 2012, Hodges' series of mixed-media works entitled "Propaganda" were shown in a featured solo exhibition at Taiwan Photo Fair in Taipei: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNF-sA8edLM.
Here is a link to the Taiwan Photo Fair official website which makes specific reference to Hodges and the individual exhibition of his body of work 'Propaganda": http://english.taiwanphotofair.com/?page_id=254. Expoarts ( talk) 19:02, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
In January 2013, Hodges was the subject of an in-depth interview with Michael K. Corbin, who is an avid art collector, writer, full-time broadcast journalist, yogi and runner. A New York City native, he travels far and wide for art's sake. He writes for various art websites that include www.absolutearts.com and www.artbookguy.com. The interview can be found here: http://artbookguy.com/thomas-hodges-global-journey_563.html. Subsequently, Michael K. Corbin listed Hodges as as one of his "106 SUPER HOT ARTISTS FOR 2013": http://artbookguy.com/106-super-hot-artists-_571.html
In June 2013, Hodges and his work was featured in Fearless Press: http://www.fearlesspress.com/2013/06/12/capturing-italy’s-long-history-of-eroticism-in-modern-art/. Reference is made therein to the art movement "Imaginism", which Hodges founded in December 2006. The article was originally published in May 2011 (as stated therein).
On 26th January 2014, Hodges was bestowed with a "World of Fashion Award" during the Rome Fashion Week in Italy, at which time his artwork "Nishikigoi" was featured as a 5m x 5m runway backdrop. The following articles (in Italian) make reference to the aforementioned, in addition to his latest art project which is entitled "Le Tre Grazie" and which is a production of the Italian company Bielle Re Srl, and comprises 26 artworks, an art video and a dedicated book publication. In the article by H24 Notizie, Hodges is likened to one of his referenced inspirations [ [1]]:-
http://www.h24notizie.com/news/2014/01/27/videoaltaroma-world-fashion-moda-e-arte-per-una-magica-serata/ http://www.ilsecolonuovo.com/2014/02/01/a-roma-consensi-per-il-world-of-fashion-2014/ http://www.certinews.it/giuseppe-lepore-produce-thomas-hodges-primo-progetto-italia-per-un-artista-arcinoto-2/ http://www.laprovinciaonline.info/World-of-Fashion-2014-un-successo.html?var_mode=calcul
Additionally and in reference to "World of Fashion" and "Le Tre Grazie", Hodges was interviewed by Funweek Magazine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sTcBWGjFhw. The YouTube page in question also references Hodges as the founder of the art movement "Imaginism" (L'artista e creatore della corrente dell' "immaginism"), which therefore also provides you with a needed citation.
I will review Hodges page further with regard to requested citations, and post hereto whatever additional references I am able to provide.
Expoarts ( talk) 22:30, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
Another source just found today pertaining to the World of Fashion Award, is a scan of a page from World of Fashion Magazine, which has been posted in their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=447795291989578&set=a.275470619222047.43894.274998522602590&type=1&theater Therein, it states quite clearly that Hodges was given the award and also the names of the two people making the presentation (in both English and Italian).

This is a link to the trailer of Hodges' recently produced feature documentary film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA08_-NmoxI&feature=youtu.be
Expoarts ( talk) 18:19, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
This is the long link to the trailer of the feature length documentary film (as referenced above), which will be officially released on 12th June 2014. The film pertains primary to Hodges' most recent artwork production "Le Tre Grazie": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA08_-NmoxI
Expoarts ( talk) 14:14, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Hodges is now listed in the International Movie Data-Base (IMDB): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm6314035/?ref_=tt_cl_t1. His biography in IMDB ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm6314035/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm) makes specific reference to his inspirations, which may be used as a citation. Additionally, the following is clearly stated by the author "He excels in the manipulation and control of light, frequently working at the extremes of both high-key and low-key photography" and this text needs to replace the current entry, which incorrectly states (following an edit) "He believes that he excels in the manipulation and control of light, frequently working at the extremes of both high-key and low-key photography".
Expoarts ( talk) 22:00, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Giuseppe Lepore is an "independent third-party sources". He is the independent producer of the art series in question, and the fact that Hodges referenced this in his blog is totally irrelevant. Why would he not reference this in his blog and in doing so, how does that render the party in question not independent? So should I assume that each time Hodges references an independent source in his blog that that sourced will then be deemed by you as no longer independent? This Wikipedia logic is beginning to sound like a joke! Expoarts ( talk) 09:37, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
I would also add, that in a link which I have previously provided above, two "independent journalists" for FVM magazine wrote "natural lighting in his works is a fascination of Hodges and its manipulation is his forte". In which case, why is this reference not used to correct the sentence to which I have referenced. Are editors actually reading the information I am providing with the intent of improving the page, or is the focus uniquely on trying to discredit the artist. Is any editor at any stage actually going to improve the page and edit the inaccuracies from the information I have provided, or is that of no interest? Expoarts ( talk) 19:12, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
In [ ] the reference to Hodges works in private collections was removed and the title of the header changed. Why is this? Works in prominent private collections are equally as important to works in public collections and as such they should be listed. It is incorrect to state that only public collections are relevant. Expoarts ( talk) 22:43, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
You are wrong, both private and public collections are equally important. In many cases, private collections exceed the importance of public collections. You are employed in the domain of fine arts? You wrote "There have been questions here about whether Hodges meets Wikipdia's notability criteria and, if he has originals of his work in the collection of a major museum and a university". It seems to me only you have raised those questions? Will you be editing this page to include the additional information and links that I have provided or are all of those also not relevant in your opinion? Expoarts ( talk) 09:27, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
