lots of dependent coverage and trivial coverage but absence of significant, in-depth, fully independent and reliable coverage on subject that develops general notability. Reviewing the article history revealed that it was created by an undisclosed paid editor who has since been blocked. Graywalls (talk) 09:47, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment some of the sources are clearly not what we'd consider reliable and independent. This article for example, is credited "By Staff for Chrysler 200". The video clearly says "SPONSORED", and at the bottom of the page, Esquire clarifies that "Esquire participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites."

 * Yep. The article creator was banned for undisclosed paid editing involving multiple articles. All this aside, I don't find that this particular article subject merits enough notability to justify remaining in place hence deletion nomination. Graywalls (talk) 15:37, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   12:37, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete the article is/was promotional. Almost everything I can find about this artist is promotional, even this bio on the (reputable) Corning Glass Museum web site. Even this independent souce ends up promoting a new glass series (i.e a product). No independent non-promotion coverage = no article.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 07:49, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
