Appears to fail WP:NARTIST. Zero sources on page. No establishment of notability. Original creator basically copy-pasted info from the official website (compare to ). Suspect WP:SOAP intent for creation, but article was never substantially improved. If subject is notable (which does not seem to be) then WP:NUKEANDPAVE and let it be recreated.

 * Delete as I'm simply not finding anything else actually better aside from a few unsurprising links, the article also suggests nothing else better for the applicable notability with there simply being nothing outstanding. SwisterTwister   talk  23:00, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep. This nomination could have used a little WP:BEFORE, as I have found many good sources and added several to the article. I'll continue to add more. In the meantime, do a Google image search for "Chris Gilmour artist", and the notability will be obvious. Of course references are what we work with here, and more are coming.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 06:19, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Follow-up: I've added 13 28 inline refs, removed the uncited Exhibitions section and the uncited artist statement. I also found and added info on the two collections he is in, one of which is the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. It's clearly an easy keep-- the fact he is in two collections meets WP:ARTIST, and the 28 refs establish notability via wide reporting on his work by independent reputable sources. I think the article creator shot themselves in the foot by not using any inline refs.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 07:05, 21 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep – Meets WP:CREATIVE per available sources about the subject. North America1000 17:40, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
