 * Delete. Non-notable graffiti artist, fails WP:ARTIST. WWGB (talk) 10:32, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comments by article author copied from article talk page (moved by Nancy talk  11:51, 31 December 2009 (UTC))


 * This page should not be deleted, as the soucre information is correct, I have listed publications that the person is listed in, books that have been published and the relivence that the said Pesron Lokey/Pert is related to Banksy history as a graffiti Artist, as well as Lokey/Pert being a Graffiti Artist, which he is a significant part of the Graffiti Culture in Bristol, and has been for the past 20 plus years, along with like's of Inkie, Bankys and 3D. Kineta (talk) 10:25, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * If Lokey is classed as a Non-notable graffiti artist, why have Wikipedia still included a fellow Bristolian Graffiti Artist (Who Lokey has wrote and painted with, many times) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheo Who happens to have less information on his page and is listing his website as a sorce, When I have listed serveral publications, and have backed my information with cite and references or sources. Kineta (talk) 10:42, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Cheo has left the encyclopedia. WWGB (talk) 09:19, 1 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:BIO. I agree with the above that the Cheo article needs to go too, but that's a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:41, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. Handschuh-talk to me 08:16, 1 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I have added more infomation, refferences and cite's to the page, I will also contiue updating the page. If you have any suggestions, they are very welcome!  Thank you Kineta (talk) 07:11, 3 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete without prejudice. I must say, I'm disappointed here.  The artwork is incredible, but every single last "reference" cited in this article is a passing mention.  There is no substantial detail provided about Lokey as an artist in any of them.  Can anyone tell me what is written in pages 125-131 of this book, "Children of the Can : 25 years of Bristol Graffiti" ?  I'd love to have a change of heart here, but I'm not seeing how this meets WP:BIO at the moment.  JBsupreme (talk) 08:00, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. In reference to WWGB citing WW:WPARTIST, Section 4b of WW:WPARTIST justifies this page. Lokey's inclusion in the RWA Crimes of Passion exhibition is considered asubstantial part of a very significant exhibition.
