Brooke Purvis Artist

Moved from AfC into article space by creator, the subject doesn't meet notability guidelines. Fails WP:CREATIVE and the crime section is a likely BLP violation. Cult of Green (talk) 05:35, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Snow delete WP:BLP1E. EricSerge (talk) 04:34, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * If delete, then also delete Draft:Brooke Purvis Artist. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:44, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment don't salt. Remove anything unsourced or "criminal", but after talking with the very new editor of this article, they did seem to write it in good faith. Also, Purvis has appeared in Huff Post, Artnet news and Vice. It has been for one event, so userfying would make sense if the consensus is delete... give the new editor a chance to work on the article. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 02:43, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Userfy Let's give the new editor a chance here. --MurderByDeletionism"bang!" 07:14, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Move to draft (userfy) I removed the criminal charge content and I think that the page should be userfied because this person is very notable for one event, but they are still in school and have yet to create their body of work. I'm pinging the creator,, so they can see the discussion here. BTW, "Nuke this mess" is very inappropriate,  for an AfD discussion. Everyone has room for improvement and this is a new editor trying to learn the ropes. Let's help them understand the process, rather than trashing anyone's work. The article is fine once the criminal charges were removed. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 15:52, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - there is an existing draft at AfC that the editor can continue to work on. Cult of Green (talk) 22:12, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment – I am sorry for not being civil, just hard with a person who moves an article despite a large number of AfC rejections, followed by how many AfD notice removals.-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(ring-ring)  01:14, 8 December 2015 (UTC)


 * workforce2014 Hi everyone, I'm really sorry for the noob mistakes here, editing on Wikipedia seems as if it's like coding of which I have no idea how to do. I appreciate your input. Even finding this page to discuss has been difficult. I've done my best to find further references about Brooke Purvis and I thought of him to be a notable person by the standards given in the guide lines, including the street art history. I have looked through other artists of similar ilk and there are many on wikipedia with only 1 or 2 references about their own work which I find confusing. Is there a difference between biographical pages and notable persons pages?
 * Delete. The coverage is all for him burning his money, which is a WP:BIO1E thing. No coverage of any depth apparent otherwise. Can be recreated if he gets coverage for something else (perhaps burning something else?). Advise against userfication at this time because Workforce2014 doesn't strike me as experienced enough yet to do anything useful with a draft.  Sandstein   18:21, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
