non-notable ; not in any permanent collection of a museum' no substantial critical studies. Almost every reference is either form the galleries that sell his work, and are therefore not independent, or an interview where he is allowed to say what he pleases about himself, and such interviews are also not independent.

• Delete the sourcing is terrible, and I cannot find anything to improve it. Not to be confused with the New York City-based artist from the 1960s with the name Gregory Edwards, who was the brother of Melvin Edwards. Possibly (talk) 21:37, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I spent some time to clean up the article to try to distill it down to the actual content, and I'm sorry to say there is not much to substantiate his notability. The article was created by and improved by two single-purpose editors, which could be coincidental. However, after checking the references, many of them are permanent 404 dead links, or don't mention him at all, or are primary sources like press releases Does not pass WP:GNG. There are no collections or significant exhibition record to pass WP:NARTIST. If others can find SIGCOV in reliable sources I might be open to changing this !vote, but it seems doubtful.

• Delete I see that Netherzone made an attempt to improve the article and is recommending its deletion. The version prior to that attempt also does not appear to meet WP:NARTIST. Jeepday (talk) 15:00, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
