 * Keep Article is written in a promotional style, however reliable sources do exist to establish the person's notability. Have a look in Google books, he's notable. Re the COI, it's not a good thing to have, but it plays no role in deletion. 198.58.161.137 (talk) 20:20, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep and clean up the promo, and properly cite. The awards are significant, if focused in a short period of time:
 * Honorary mention, Transmediale, Berlin, 2001
 * Honorary mention, interactive art, Ars Electronica Festival, Linz, Austria, 2001
 * Honorary mention, Vida 5.0 Artificial Life International Competition, Madrid, Spain, 2002 --Theredproject (talk) 01:55, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

 * gah, this should have been created in draft space and developed there. An unsourced article about a living person should not be in main space, and editors with a conflict of interest should put new articles through WP:AFC, as should new editors. I have asked the creator at their Talk page (here) if they would be willing to have this draftified. So... User:Kleuske, User:Babymissfortune, 198.58.161.137, and User:Theredproject would you please confirm you would be OK with draftification? Jytdog (talk) 04:24, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * No problems here. Kleuske (talk) 12:48, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Draftification works for me. --Theredproject (talk) 19:57, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. Is anybody else a little shocked that a student is tasked to write a Wikipedia article about their supervisor, and, I presume, needs to have this assignment accepted by that supervisor in order to pass the course? We have rules about paid editing, but not about this AFAIK. But it seems quite similar to me — immoral, anyway. Not on the part of the student, but of the supervisor and article subject. Just my 2 öre. Bishonen &#124; talk 20:05, 20 January 2018 (UTC).
 * Yes im shocked, but not very surprised. But it's not "money, goods or services", although you could argue that 'services' includes passing the course. Perhaps it's an idea to amend WP:PAID. Kleuske (talk) 20:38, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
 * The creator said "yes" to draftification so I am going to try to pull all the levers to make that happen now... Jytdog (talk) 00:52, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
