 * Delete - Subject only mentioned in passing in page's current references and search in reliable sources. Meatsgains (talk) 17:13, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment One of the refs has a headline mentioning 'lighting up unknown artists'. I get the feeling that this one is a possibly up and coming one who isn't there quite yet. Quite a bit of social media and apparently stock photos at Getty (but I haven't investigated that yet and I'm not sure how much notability that would give - is it like soundcloud where anyone can put stuff, or is it editorially selected?). Otherwise, I can't see much. Peridon (talk) 17:22, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
 * RE: Getty Images - They're not editorially selected. It's basically just a Stock Photo selling site. Exemplo347 (talk) 21:56, 27 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - The article does not demonstrate notability. The article does not describe any books published, nor awards received, nor cites any disinterested and reliable source. The only thing we learn about his impact upon the world from this article is that he has had work in five group exhibitions, none of them in locations for which a Wikipedia article exists. Of those five exhibitions, the source cited for the Toit Sur Toit and Artist Take Times Square exhibitions do not mention that Norman took part; the Artist Take Times Square exhibition was for a single night and on 3 billboards (admittedly in Times Square); the African Diaspora in Brooklyn exhibition has no reference for it at all. -Lopifalko (talk) 17:28, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
