Article on an English painter. I removed so many junk sources from this article (Facebook, Linkedin, artplu.com, saatchiart.com, youtube, gallery blurbs, event announcements and so on) that I decided to take a closer look at the other sources. There is almost no independent coverage at all for this artist. 95% of the given sources are primary gallery sources, or the Singulart/ArtRabbit/artplu.com/saatchiart.com type of website that is a sell-your-painting-get-visibility site. GNG fail. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 18:13, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete I couldn't find sufficient WP:RS to satisfy NARTIST. None of the exhibitions on his CV are sufficient and the only article I could find on him is a short Competition Spotlight from an open call: "Competition Spotlight artists are chosen from competition finalists. Visit www.artistsnetwork.com/learn more2015 to view winning entries from our 2014 Annual Art Competition." --Theredproject (talk) 21:08, 13 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Hold This concerns a BAFTA-winning director and producer with a succesful national career as a painter. Unfortunately his film career ended in 2002 and not many sources are available on the internet regarding the period before 2002. As a painter, he did several exhibitions, won several awards and has been mentioned in Vogue Magazine and The Independent, but these sources are on paper and no electronic version is available.Christo jones (talk) 21:23, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I did a database search and wasn't able to VERIFY the BAFTA award. All I could find was his LinkedIn . Did you find WP:RS that VERIFY the award? --Theredproject (talk) 18:42, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
