 * Delete. Non-notable artist, fails WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST. Paid editor created page - WP:COI. Wikipedia is not an advertising venue. Netherzone (talk) 00:16, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep : I have gone through this page once, it had little more content which showcased more notability. More over i feel Highsnobiety, BellaNaija , NowThis News articles are well enough to pass notability. I have tagged COI in the page and paid editing is not accepted in wiki unless and otherwise they disclose it . But that is not a measure to delete the page. I will try for some rescue BetterSmile:D (talk) 03:10, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - no reliable news sources, a lot of these look like recycled press releases. In particular, I have no idea what nowreadthisnews.com is (spot the difference, it's not NowThis News) but certainly no reliable source ever seems to have heard of it and their about us page is, well, uninformative. (Although this didn't guide my decision, I speedied a previous version of the page last year. It claimed the subject to be a "Silicon Valley venture capital billionaire" and "guest lecturer at the London School of Economics on cybersecurity" who had become a jewellery designer following a spiritual epiphany. Needless to say there’s, er, not much evidence for any of this. When I challenged it, the editor basically said “yes well, he's clearly very wealthy, billionaire sounds about right, eh?”) So salting might be in order. Blythwood (talk) 06:52, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * KEEP : BellaNaija is the top most fashion magazine from Nigeria. With 128th rank in alexa rating. Detailed article about Frank is there in BellaNaija, which cant be concluded as any PR article, Blythwood must explain why he/she feels BellaNaija is not a reliable source. Same for the case of Highsnobiety and BlackBook. Previously created version of the article may be some absurd one, as any one in the world is free to create a wikipedia page, even a madman can go ahead and write anything about a reputed figure, if he has no wikipedia page. So considering the previously created absurd page in the same name is not apt for discussing notability here. I have now gone through the upwork link. As i have created the page, i have to state truth, i have no upwork account and i am not working under anyone's directions. Any top officials of wiki can message me . I am ready to talk to them. I also found that the upwork job posted is still open and no one is hired. So it can be even the nominator who created the job to place the tag. I have no clue for that as well.Any one is free to talk to me on this in my wiki talk page FashionArt (talk) 04:58, 10 August 2017 (UTC)FashionArt (talk) 04:59, 10 August 2017 (UTC)FashionArt (talk) 05:00, 10 August 2017 (UTC)FashionArt (talk) 05:01, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * BellaNaija is not a reliable source because, as stated by the article on it here, it is a blog, and I think that we can all agree that blogs are a reliable source. And besides, that doesn't address the lack of sources otherwise. One source isn't enough to pass our notability criteria in a good number of cases. RileyBugz 会話 投稿記録  20:38, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * comment BellaNaija was started as a blog and later became a reputed magazine and is now the top fashion magazine in Nigeria with over 5 lakh subscribers 5lakh About BellaNaija and also the article used as reference in the wiki page is written by BellaNaija staff and not any contributor or blogger. Which proves BellaNaija is a reliable source. Moreover to add on, blogs are also considered reliable sources if the author is reputed in the field of writing. Here RileyBugz states initially one reason for Bellanaija not being a reliable source and later says its a reliable source. According to the nominator RileyBugz, He/she says "BellaNaija is not a reliable source because, as stated by the article on it here" what is stated in the article ??? As proved BellaNaija being a reliable source and articles from Highsnobiety , BlackBook notability is proved FashionArt (talk) 10:44, 11 August 2017 (UTC)FashionArt (talk) 10:46, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
