Non-notable entrepreneur that fails WP:NARTIST. The sources in the article, as well, as other sources found for WP:BEFORE, are not substantial coverage. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 05:42, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - as per nom, fails WP:GNG. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:28, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep there are lots of good sources in the article, although it is written in a promotional way and could do with some cleanup. The Vice project piece is substantial. The Times of India published another item a couple hours ago. I see more sources in Google news. GNG notability is easily met. He has a diverse career and coverage as shipping magnate and artist, so GNG is appropriate.198.58.168.40 (talk) 03:07, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Also, why is this 783 word article solely on Dilip De, and included in the sources list, not "substantial"198.58.168.40 (talk) 03:12, 25 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Non notable artist and the coverage does not provide notability under WP:NARTIST as his main contribution seems to be creating art using a phone!! Hagennos (talk) 04:28, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Whether he uses a phone or a carrot to make art is irrelevant. The sources are there. He's notable under GNG for dual careers.198.58.168.40 (talk) 09:26, 25 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom and Hagennos above, fails WP:NARTIST and general notability guideline. GSS  (talk |c|em ) 05:21, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment The sources are there for general notability. Another feature published today (January 26 2018) in Asian Age.198.58.168.40 (talk) 09:57, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete coverage does not rise to the level needed to show an artist is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:19, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
