The article includes very few information and nothing to justify WP:ARTIST. Having done a WP:BEFORE, I couldn't find anything that had significant coverage. Chiserc (talk) 15:48, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete Zero hits for an artist with this name, anyone and everyone else pops up. COI and the SPA are also red flags. Oaktree b (talk) 19:52, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - The original article, an AUTOBIO was deleted, then recreated by a single purpose account WP:SPA who only worked on articles about Lee Wells and his projects; it is a COI entry likely created by Well's collaborator based on the user name Cbororkowski (see Perpetual Art Machine for more context (a currently unsourced article). A BEFORE search reveals only primary sources and an interview, nothing in the way of in-depth, independent coverage required for GNG; nothing found that might meet NARTIST. Will keep searching before !voting. Netherzone (talk) 17:34, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I've nominated the Perpetual Art Machine for deletion, it's likely not notable either. Oaktree b (talk) 19:56, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - After searching via Google and the Wikipedia library resources, all I could find on this artist was a single interview and a few mentions that were basically name checks. Therefore does not meet WP:GNG. I also searched to see if there were museum collections or other sources which would meet notable artist criteria, but also fails WP:NARTIST.

 * Delete I do not find any RS for biographical information presented. The one source used is just a passing mention. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 23:18, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
