Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of an artist, not reliably sourced as clearing our notability standards for artists. The only serious notability claim even being attempted here is the number of followers he has on Instagram, which is not part of our notability criteria for any human occupation -- and of the four footnotes here, two are his own self-published content about himself and a third is a Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself (as opposed to being written about in the third person by a journalist) on a non-notable art blog, so 75 per cent of the sources here are doing absolutely nothing whatsoever in terms of establishing his notability. And while the other footnote is a real magazine article that counts for something, even just a basic WP:GNG pass requires more than just one source of that calibre. Artists, as always, are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have much better sources than this.

Delete, Per above,does not show notability. Alex-h (talk) 10:53, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - none of the sources are independent of the artist or his gallery. No evidence that any of his artwork in in any major art museum. For someone who's supposedly in the NYC art scene, there's literally zero articles about him on Google newspapers. Bearian (talk) 19:25, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Notability is not indicated in the article nor in a BEFORE. Article creator and main editor is a single purpose account. Netherzone (talk) 21:34, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
