Advertisement of an unnotable artist. Article was PRODed and deleted. Articles that exist on French, German and Spanish Wikipedia were created by the same user (see global contributions of User:Chaonan); very likely to be cross-wiki promotion/spamming.

Also possibly COI because the article creator's username Chaonan matches the name of a person close to the artist (Google "Fu Wenjun" chaonan). --Wcam (talk) 14:38, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete:As per nominator, artist is unnotable. Ayub407^talk 15:07, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as I found some links at Books, browser and Highbeam but if possible a better article can be made later. SwisterTwister talk 05:03, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Question. These exhibitions: does anyone have sources for them? (Chinese photographers' articles can be sourced: see for example Zhang Xiao.) -- Hoary (talk) 10:10, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - The article needs to be better written, but the delete votes are flawed because they only looked at English sources (I've now added Find Sources links for his Chinese name). The person seems to be quite famous in China. A google search of his Chinese name returns 130,000 results, including substantial coverage in many of China's top media outlets. See China Daily, Guangming Daily, Phoenix TV, Ta Kung Pao, and numerous others. His art has been studied in many Chinese art journals (see Google scholar results of his Chinese name), such as Yishu Dangdai (Contemporary Art). -Zanhe (talk) 20:11, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A dreadful article, but the biographee does seem to be Wikipedia-style notable. -- Hoary (talk) 12:32, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – and copy edit to address aspects of promotional tone. The subject passes WP:BASIC and point #3 of WP:ARTIST. Source examples include (translated into English using Google Translate): [1], [2], [3], [4]. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:59, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is substantial coverage for this article, so it meets notability requirements. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 04:46, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
