Eliezer John Cabangon

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD was removed with a rather lengthy reason, so just look at the history. The gist was "all references are legit". All but one reference is reliable. The others seem to be websites of galleries that showcase his work, so they fail WP:PRIMARY. The only truly legit reference is the Manila Times article but it is rather short and is just one, failing multiple reliable sources that are required. – H T  D  07:11, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment.- I added other related references and content about the artist with three google books, please reconsider this article not to be deletedAnthonyAguila24 (talk) 09:09, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * These "books" are either associated with this person, or is written by himself so they're all WP:PRIMARY sources which aren't allowed. – H T  D  09:43, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - Can you reconsider some of the reference links on the article as Secondary Source? such as the links where EJ Cabangon was featured in an online newspaper, like in the businessworld online (businessworld published the article about their exhibit last April 7, 2015)? Another is websites that did a review on his past solo exhibitionss? please reconsider HTD :( AnthonyAguila24 (talk) 10:23, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * This is the entire snippet about this person from BusinessWorld:
 * "Cabangon takes on cartoonish images and morphs them into “abducted” pieces."
 * The Philippine Star has quite a longer discussion:
 * Cabangon takes on cartoonish images and morphs them into “abducted” pieces of liquefying constructs that can be viewed as metaphors for loss of innocence or a world turning into a playground of misfit melting toys. The strategy of “abducting” can be seen as something politically charged (the perils of living in a third world country) or something entirely existential and universal.
 * It's almost certain that these fail WP:BASIC. All others fail WP:RS. – H T  D  11:12, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment If that's the case is it okay if i just place links that are not qualified as a reference to Related Links to prevent the article to be deleted? thank you thank you so much for guiding and criticizing my article HTD :D I just really want to show everyone on the web how amazing EJ Cabangon is as an artist AnthonyAguila24 (talk) 11:26, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * No, you can't place links that are "unqualified" to another section. You'd need links that pass Wikipedia standards. Wikipedia isn't for promotion. You should try Wikipilipinas instead. – H T  D  11:31, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment Well if the prevention of the deletion can't be reconsidered tomorrow i'd like to request for this article "Eliezer John Cabangon" to be moved to the Draft Namespace in order for me to look for more references that are qualified with wikipedia's rules and regulation about primary, secondary and tertiary sources. The reason i am doing this article about EJ Cabangon is not for his promotion, i'm doing this for the Filipino painters who aren't familiar with a painter like EJ Cabangon who is one of the sought after painters in the Philippine art scene. Please HTD, allow me to research more on his works and related sources to his article and develop the article so that it can be placed in the live space of wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnthonyAguila24 (talk • contribs) 11:55, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Userfy - This article needs to be greatly revised as it does not follow WP style for the most part. First, the long list of shows should be reduced to a short mention of a few key shows. (We don't list full bibliographies of articles for professors or journalists, and we should not produce a long list of shows for an artist.) Next, the actual text of the article needs references that back up the facts there. Finally, adding a list of every mention found on the web actually detracts from the article -- for external resources, the artist's own site should be sufficient. The Manila Times article is one good RS and can be used to reference some of the facts in the article. A few more such sources are needed to reach general notability.

 * Delete, that lone Manila Times article does not suffice to establish notability, there's nothing else out there, and the article is largely unsourced in violation of WP:BLP. Huon (talk) 13:30, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
