I don't think sufficient notability has been asserted or shown. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 06:27, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, I don't think the article establishes sufficient notablity. The claim regarding the shoe art makes it non-speediable though imho. Thryduulf 10:27, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets the criteria of WP:BIO. Significant number of ghits, the first of which links to a biography of him on PBS. Agent 86 16:40, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Graffitti art is not my cup of tea, but this guy, like Neckface is one of the few present-day graffitti artists to emerge as serious artists. He's exhibited at major museums (LACMA, for one), and he did the licensing deal with Addidas. Gotta say, I think he meets notability crites. I do wish the quotes from him were sourced, though.

 * Keep. Twist is one of the most famous graffit writers in history. Yes this page is done poorly. Someone with more information needs to come and clean it up a little. And source more quotes, trust me there is more. Also add more pictures. But KEEP definitelyGrits 14:48, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Definitely a notable artist.--Fred 02:30, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Page does need some updating and more detailed bio.  Artist is well-known and influential and should definitely have his own Wikipedia page.  He was part of PBS's "art: 21" special on important artists of the 21st century.  September 25, 2006. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.100.210.18 (talk • contribs).
