Searching does not appear to find substantial coverage in reliable sources. This person thus fails WP:NARTIST, as tagged since January 2014, with a claim that this is a CV. The first AfD failed to achieve consensus for having only an argument by an IP user. GeoffreyT2000 (talk, contribs) 02:38, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep The Guardian article shows that there's plenty out there--dig through the above find sources template a bit, and you'll see that the GNG is met. Jclemens (talk) 04:35, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm searching, all I can really find is that he was part of a group show in Derby in 2009, it produced a published catalogue (source #4). And he is discussed, briefly, in the article about magic in The Guardian mentioned above. This is just not enough to pass WP:ANYBIO.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:36, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I bleieve I was the IP editor and only voter on the last AfD. Looking again for sources, I found a few, which I added. Nothing spectacular, but enough to show that he does exist, and did have thes shows claimed, and was covered in multiple reliable sources. Perhaps the depth is not what it should be, but the quality of the venues, if you know them, might tip the scale. Failing those arguments, he does seem to have made a significant and sustained contribution to the crossover area of magic in art, which qualifies him for WP:ARTIST.104.163.142.4 (talk) 06:30, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
