This was nominated, deleted, recreated and nominated again in which it somehow was kept. It fails WP:ARTIST and I can't find any significant coverage online, this is not notable enough to be kept. Sgubaldo (talk) 20:57, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: I can't find any critical notice of this person; the last AfD discussion in 2012 posted a link to an artnet bio (which is now a 404), and while they do have a list of paintings at artnet using the link now given in wiki, there is nothing else.

• There's not nothing, but I'm not finding coverage that would meet NARTIST. I get a lot of hits for his 2019 solo exhibition (the most complete of which is this one), a full length critical essay about his works (here, unsure about RS status: this site appears self-published, but it could easily have been lifted from a real source), and his CV. Meanwhile reference two in the article is bogus, not about the subject at all, but doesn't support any prose. And I get that deletion isn't cleanup, but this article needs a fundamental rewrite not to read like an advertisement. Mainly though I'm not seeing NARTIST being met with the sources I've found, so Delete. Folly Mox (talk) 15:09, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - No reliable sources found on the internet. I would not be able to create a passable stub on this artist. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 02:39, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
