I don't think this meets WP:NARTIST or WP:GNG. Kept at previous AfD, but that was in 2007 when we were much more lax about what was included and many felt it should have been deleted then. Boleyn (talk) 17:33, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't see anything resembling significant critical attention. Looking at the news section of his own website, https://www.imaginativepencil.org/news/ the most prominent news item appears to be the announcement of a new Instagram account. The reviews section, https://www.imaginativepencil.org/reviews/ gives something like "celebrity endorsements" that might qualify as criterion 1: "regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors", but I can't find that these quotes are published anywhere, except on the subject's own website. I can see that the article was probably a good-faith attempt, but there's nothing that I can see that would make it pass WP:ARTIST. Mduvekot (talk) 18:10, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, even though he appears to have had a very brief moment a decade ago when Chess Daily News ran promo for chess T-shirts he designed and there was a feature article in his local newspaper, "Jenkins wins award for Web site," Katie Mcdowell, The Dominion Post, Morgantown, W.Va.22 Dec 2005.  It is a real profile, the website promoted his work on "themes of chess, anatomy, the mind and spirituality" which was described as commercial art.  He was swilling to design t-shirts, mugs.  He had "won a Gold Award for excellence in design for imaginativepencil.com from the American Association of Webmasters. And it's a pretty big deal - - less than 15 percent of applicants are awarded the prize, according to the association."  Bio info.  that lone article is real, but it's not enough.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:33, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete lack of diverse reliable sources to establish notability. A cheesy website design award has no impact on his status as an artist, unless we are also calling him a notable web designer. Which he isn't.104.163.140.99 (talk) 01:43, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
