I am not finding that this artist meets notability criteria for WP:GNG nor WP:NARTIST. A BEFORE search reveals only social media or other trivial mentions, nothing in-depth could be found. The current article sourcing does not support notability, it consists of dead links, a few press releases, name-check mentions. It seems he was nominated for a few non-notable awards, but that is not enough to sustain an encyclopedia article. No significant exhibitions or any collections. Bringing it here for the community to decide. Netherzone (talk) 22:59, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete Lacking in substantial coverage (Macedonian Wikipedia article doesn't provide any additional sources that could be of use), no major international or national awards or recognition in the field, and no verifiable claims of inclusion in a notable museum collection. Moreover, it often uses a promotional tone and WP:PEACOCK phrasing to add a veneer of notability, like with was one of the few artist selected to exhibit in the Tenth international Paratissima Turin, the most visited contemporary art event in Italy. Exhibited at the prestigious Osten Biennial of Drawing, 42nd World Gallery of Drawing – Skopje 2014 and received the Special Award by the Jury(Nickolas Thaw, USA – President, Anita Haldemann, Switzerland – Member, Pavle Pejovic, Montenegro – Member).

 * Delete. There are some claims to notability here, even if the puffery tends to obscure them somewhat. It is hard to assess how strong the claims are but the exhibitions and awards are mostly youth awards and events. Apart from the Francophone Games, none of them seem to have articles so they are unlikely to confer notability. The references seem to be half dead and not all of them even mention him. I don't speak the languages but when searching the references some of them mention him only once and might well be passing mentions. In addition to the puffery, I notice that we have "the 7th Francophone Games" and "the 2013 Jeux de la Francophonie" listed as if they are two different things when they a literally the exact same thing. The Google search links don't help much either. --DanielRigal (talk) 01:24, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
