The RS do not establish Notability. The one item that might come close is the open call award at Saatchi Gallery were only a shortlist, not even a finalist. He references a MoMa [sic] project, but it seems it is just work he did during a MoMA education class he references in his education. Tate has no reference to anything though the link also references a class, so maybe that is it? A lot of the links are broken, don't mention him, or are not RS. On top of this, it is unclear if there is a COI. There is some unclear stuff about the images that were linked via Commons, but are deleted. Theredproject (talk) 15:09, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete, considering I nominated this article the first time around, because I couldn't see anything of substance. Clearly Gopakumar exists and evidently exibits/participates in group exhibitions and events internationally. However, his only claimed achievement is being shortlisted in an animated gif competition. Exhibiting internationally does mark him out from the average amateur artist, but per se, participating in exhibitions is what artists do - they have to have achieved significant attention to warrant a write up in Wikipedia. On the basis of what we know (or don't know) of Gopakumar, he fails WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST. Sionk (talk) 18:46, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
