Francisco Sierra (artist)

I went into this just trying to remove the puffery, and realized that this has significant COI, as Stephen Crowe, who drew the portrait of Sierra, was himself writing his own page, which I have also nominated for deletion. Stephen Crowe (composer). In this case, the claims for WP:Artist rest on the award of the Manor Art Prize, and the exhibition that comes with it. And the Frieze review of the exhibition. There are no other significant reviews. The "Monographs" are all exhibition catalogs. I note that the page links to the list of winners of Manor Art Prize on de.wiki, and maybe 20% of them have pages on de wiki. I don't think it passes muster.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Given the opposition by some other editors to a few of the other Afds nominated by Theredproject (in good faith), I'm giving another week for discussions here.

 * Strong Keep. The prize and solo exhibition grants passing WP:CREATIVE easily. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 10:26, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep I found something good in a search too may times to say Delete. A mention in this newspaper. This article talks about him being approached by the Kunstmuseum Bern. I then switched to searching with his name and "kunst". Bingo. Nice in-depth review here. Kunst Bulletin here has a lot of in-depth kunst criticism. Tagblatt has more in-depth kunstler writing. As they say, "Der Künstler spricht von Galgenhumor", and also he is a "schweizerisch-chilenischer Doppelbürger". I am pretty sure that is Austrian or German for he is notable now.104.163.147.121 (talk) 07:07, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * here is another in Schweitzer Illustriete, where they use the word "Fingerfertigkeit", which sounds impressive.104.163.147.121 (talk) 07:10, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * this page appears to be a smaller gallery or exhibition, and it refers to him as "ausgebildeter Musiker" and am "autodidaktisch beigebracht", which sounds like an outside musician and a self taught beige something. Seriously though, TheRedProject's nominations are excellent. This one slipped by because all the coverage is in Austrian or German or Swiss German, or whatever it is. The artist is notable per the many in-depth independent sources in a foreign language.104.163.147.121 (talk) 07:20, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
