The result was delete. A mention on the Adobe Photoshop article would not be untoward, but there's not enough significant lasting coverage for a standalone article. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 14:20, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

There is insufficient evidence of notability of this individual. There are brief mentions in local news for a single event only (WP:BLP1E). There may be a conflict of interest as well, as the page creator is a single-purpose account. Deli nk (talk) 21:09, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Create magazine and Behance (a self-promotion site) are both owned by Adobe. None of the other sources are in-depth critical assessments of his work as an artist, they're all about a single event; the selection of one of his works as the splash screen for Adobe Photoshop. In a way, he has created a well-known work, but we also require that such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. That is not the case here.

 * Delete lacks good sources to establish notability. Authoring an Adoble splash screen is an inconsequential achievement.104.163.140.99 (talk) 01:40, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
