 * Delete or Userfy A local artist with several short blurbs in unreliable sources. The coverage in "thisiscolossal" is just a reprint of . If enough mainstream media coverage can be found, I will change my !vote.--180.172.239.231 (talk) 11:50, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete: if there were more sources like the Metro article, I would be inclined to lean toward keep. However, since that seems to have been his only coverage in mainstream media, it's a delete.  G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 23:23, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep This is an up-and-coming artist who has a unique skill and talent. As the author of the page, I've tried to find as much relevant information about him from reliable sources. He has had a major show and is displaying his work at reputable venues. His work and talent are Wiki-worthy and I'm sure that as he continues with his profession there will be much to add to this page. ReachingtheStars (talk) 07:21, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment The above editor has made few edits outside this Afd. The artist is clearly not notable. You have said it yourself, he is an and coming artist. Perhaps after a decade if he's is still on the go. At the moment, I don't believe he is notable. scope_creep talk 20:32  26 August  2014 (UTC)
 * Reply to ReachingtheStars: See UPANDCOMING. I will accept userfy as an alternative to delete.--180.172.239.231 (talk) 12:09, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete or Userfy - It looks like everyone here, including myself and the author of the page, have "tried" to find sources that meet WP:RS. Unfortunately, they do not exist in any extent to qualify the artist for an article on Wikipedia. If the author of the page feels that more sources are going to become available, I would suggest placing the article into his/her userspace so that it can be recreated in the event new sources do fall within WP:RS. Otherwise, there really isn't another option other than delete. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:46, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
