Fails WP:ARTIST and WP:GNG. If you ignore the artists own website, bios, press release in the broadsheet source, there's no depth of coverage to support notability Flat Out (talk) 23:13, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Significant coverage of Seton in the Sydney Morning Herald and Art Monthly Australia. His gallery is doing its artists no favours by creating conflict of interest articles though. -- haminoon  ( talk ) 06:26, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comments. A strange article indeed. First, it tells us that Through this juxtaposition of hard and soft; permanent and impermanent, the artist also investigates the history of marble as a monumental medium. I wondered how juxtaposing any contrast in one's own sculpture could be a way of investigating the history of anything. So I clicked on the ostensible source, and there read: Seton decided to explore traditional stone carving as an avenue for expression. “... [Marble] has this monumental history; it goes back to empire, kings and queens...." No investigation here. Secondly, the biographee's website is a major source. -- Hoary (talk) 13:35, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - Can't find substantial coverage from independent sources to show they currently meet notability criteria.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:41, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
