 * Comment I take it then that, as a declared paid editor, the nominator would not have accepted the subject as a client. Mduvekot (talk) 01:14, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Can't see anything that meets the WP:ARTIST criteria; just another artist.TheLongTone (talk) 16:07, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I guess that's probably true, but what is really intriguing about this nomination is that an editor who created an article about a bakery from Niagara Falls that is supposedly known for its biscotti, and must have made an considerable effort to make the trivial look notable (for pay, nota bene) can't be bothered to invest a similar effort into researching an artist. I understand that our levels of interest vary depending on the subject, but if that variation is correlated to remuneration, then something is off. Since this article was written by a good faith editor who took the effort to attend an edit-a-thon to learn about editing Wikipedia, I propose that we help her instead, and that this AfD should recommend to Userfy the article.

 * That's a nice thought, but suggesting we draftify something on what is clearly a non-notable artists is just plain bad practice.104.163.147.121 (talk) 20:45, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Sigh. I guess not. I'm already looking forward to my next edit-a-thon where I get to explain why recent grads are almost never notable. We need a note in a notability guide somewhere that explains that people are notable artists because they have had a notable career, something emerging artists almost by definition have not had. Or simply say "Emerging artists are not notable". It's probably more in line of consensus to say that of emerging, mid-career and established artists, only established artists should receive serious consideration for an article and mid-career artists only with rare exceptions. Unless, of course, you can find two human-interest/trivia/actually-not-really-about art stories in supposedly reputable newspapers and bingo! your no-name, no-career artist passes AfD, courtesy of the GNG.

 * You clearly know the score there, perhaps you should write an essay! Not kidding. I would say something like "Emerging artists within five to ten years of finishing school are rarely notable." I do know a few who would actually be notable within that timeline (e.g. of Maya Lin quality), but in their cases the notability is clear as there are many sources available.104.163.147.121 (talk) 02:47, 15 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment Agree with remarks above by Mduvekot. -The Gnome (talk) 22:56, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete As above, not notable... does not appear to meet WP:ARTIST. Little RS here, and yes probably WP:Toosoon. Deathlibrarian (talk) 04:13, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete This is a recent university grad who has had a few routine shows. Nothing at all notable here, and no sources to prove otherwise.104.163.147.121 (talk) 20:45, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice for future recreation, but until then TOOSOON. --Theredproject (talk) 00:48, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
