I'm not finding anything of substance in a BEFORE search to establish the notability of this artist. Does not meet WP:GNG nor WP:NARTIST criteria for inclusion. The current article sourcing consists of three primary sources: galleries that show his work, one of which is a blog for the gallery, and the other is an online sales site - all of which do not count towards notability; and one review press release in Mixtemagazine, which is not enough to meet notability specifications. An online search on Google turned up social media, Google Books turned up nothing, and Newspapers.com had only calendar listings. No additional reviews of exhibitions, art historical analyses of his work, nor museum collections. Bringing it here for the community to weigh in. Netherzone (talk) 20:28, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment I find this source but that's about all. We'd need more to keep the article. Oaktree b (talk) 01:06, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: To consider sources added late in the discussion. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 20:35, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment Regarding WP:NARTIST, his bios indicate he worked on September 11th memorials in NY in conjunction with Accor hotels as well as working with the French Consulate in NY which would establish item 4 in WP: NARTIST Expandinglight5 (talk) 17:51, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @Expandinglight5, are there verifiable reliable sources for this that are independent of the artist? If so, could you please link them here? Not sure if that fits criteria #4, but it would be good for the community to assess these sources. Thanks! Netherzone (talk) 19:04, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Subject fails WP:NARTIST. He has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, or won significant critical attention, or been represented within the permanent collections of any notable galleries or museums. The sources presented are from galleries. The article from Mixte Magazine appears to be a press release. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 16:57, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment I've added a few additional sources which helps support notability. Expandinglight5 (talk) 23:48, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment Sources added do not add to notability. One is a link to the gallery showing work. The other two are puff pieces International artist BOUDRO finally in Quebec City at Galeries Perreault Guy Boudro's pop art in Old Quebec. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:35, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. The sources above fail to show notability, and also the article itself has no reliable sources. Fails NARTIST. `~HelpingWorld~` (👽🛸) 20:37, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
