 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Cannot find significant coverage of this artist. There are mentions and his art is listed for sale in some places, but nothing that talks about him. CNMall41 (talk) 07:49, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn by nominator - Unfortunately, I cannot close this myself due to another delete vote so would request an administrator do so when reviewing. At least two editors have found significant coverage to satisfy WP:ANYBIO. --CNMall41 (talk) 09:49, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, it's perfectly understandable that you'd not find the coverage identified during this AfD: in my experience, Google really dislikes showing Finnish results unless searching from within Finland, machine translation continues to be abysmal for Finnish and the largest Finnish newspapers have their archives pretty tightly locked :) Ljleppan (talk) 09:58, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep: This article in Helsingin Sanomat seems to be significant coverage, for example. There are also articles like this one. He's also been presented as artist of the week in Lauantaivekkari on Yle. I've also found shorter articles, like "Bruno Maximus ställer ut verk om Sibelius" in Hufvudstadsbladet in 2016 (perhaps not online?) in the Swedish media archive, an exhibition which also got some coverage elsewhere. These results after a quick search for Swedish and Finnish sources convinces me that our threshold for notability has been reached, and that someone who speaks better Finnish than I do and has better access to Finnish sources should easily be able to expand this article. /Julle (talk) 15:59, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Are you able to add these by chance? Of course you are not required but it would be a big help since this was originally tagged as an unreferenced BLP. I find plenty of this in English as well which doesn't show notability. The others likely do but I cannot read the language and they are behind paywalls. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:47, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I'd love to see this reflected in the article, but it would really be better if someone else did since my Finnish is abysmally bad; I know there are Finnish-speakers who keep track of Finland-related AfDs who should be able to do a far better job than I would.
 * The point of the page you link to isn't the remaining text content, but that it's presenting the Yle programme Lauantaivekkari; it's not about the page but the installment of Lauantaivekkari which focused on Bruno Maximus. /Julle (talk) 20:44, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * The fact you knew the language was Finnish means you understand it better than I. lol. If someone is able to add to the page and confirm they also feel it suffices for notability I will happily withdraw the nomination. Main goal was to deal with an unreferenced BLP where I couldn't locate anything useful. Thanks for the help. --CNMall41 (talk) 22:08, 12 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete fails WP:ARTIST. He hasn't been a substantial part of a significant exhibition or won significant critical attention, or been represented within the permanent collections of notable galleries or museums. The article has no references and I cannot find anything to back up  the basic biographical information. The only thing of note I found was a page on Helsinki Capital Partners (HCP) https://www.hcp.fi/en/portfolio-item/bruno-maximus/, but unclear if they are a management company for his work. Certainly not a RS. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:47, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep based on Finnish language sources identified both above and added by myself into the article. Coverage is both broad (from multiple outlets), lasting (spanning decades), and sufficiently in-depth to reach WP:GNG. -Ljleppan (talk) 09:10, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
