I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (biographies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Kontrola (creator) with the rather misleading edit summary "correction". I stand by my original rationale. The subject seems like a very low visibility artist, no News/Books/Scholar mentions, ~500 Google mentions total. Not all artists are notable, and this one seems a pretty bad failure at meeting WP:CREATIVE. This looks pretty close to WP:VANITY/WP:COI paid-editing, I am afraid - so I'd like to ask User:Kontrola if they have any COI to disclose here? PS. In either case, I do appreciate that the artist licensed a number of his works under a free license, but we have to remember that Wikipedia is not a vehicle for promotion of individuals.

 * Delete - It seems that he doesn't have a online presence that would sufficiently prove notability and pass good old WP:GNG. Best, Nicnote  •  ask me a question  •  contributions  17:43, 28 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep Chciałbym powiedzieć : Brawo! do moich przedmówców. W rzeczy samej obaj Panowie jesteście Polakami - w związku z powyższym pozwolę sobie napisać swój komentarz w j. polskim. Krótko: Skasujcie wszystkich żyjących Polaków, którzy cokolwiek robią na arenie międzynarodowej za życia. Są skromni, ale doceniani. Nikt ich nie sponsoruje i nie mają szans na jakiekolwiek finansowe sukcesy. Nikt o nich nie pisze, bo źródła to np. niskonakładowe wydawnictwa galeryjne, ale Wy macie władze - znacie doskonale j. angielski i pracujecie na sukces polskiej kultury, nauki i techniki poza granicami naszego kraju. Tu nie chodzi o promocje, tu chodzi o proste informacje o człowieku i jego twórczości. Jestem członkiem stowarzyszenia Wikimedia, przygotowałem program wsparcia polskich i międzynarodowych twórców, których znam i mam dostęp do materiałów źródłowych, realizuje to bezpłatnie. POMAGAM i co zawsze jest jakiś problem... najpierw nie było np. OTRS (dokumenty podpisane), później licencja O, ok, to teraz co zostało - usunąć. Brawo...

 * For the sake of this being the english speaking wikipedia - I will loosely translate. Enjoy - "Congratulations! to the people who I now write after. Since you are both Polish, I will reply using Polish. Shortly: Delete every living Pole, that has done something abroard in their life. They are modest, but appreciated. No one sponsors them, and they have no chance for any financial success. No-one writes about them, because the other sources are small circulation gallery magazines. You have the power - you know perfectly the English language and work for the success of polish culture, science and technology beyond our borders. This isn't about promotion, this is about information about a person and their creations. I am a memeber of the Wikimedia foundation, and I have prepared a programme of supporting Polish and international artists, who I know and I have access to primary sources, I do this free of charge. I HELP and there is always an issue... first there was no OTRS, then the licence and now what remains - delete. Congratulations! With best wishes, J. P."

 * Transaltion of my post in the end ought to have correction. EVERY ARTICLE which I illustrated has an OTRS, or special permission from me (my own work). Kontrola (talk)13:45, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia cannot serve as a vehicle for promotion, see also WP:NOBLE. English Wikipedia has stricter inclusion criteria than Polish, and if the subjects aren't meeting WP:CREATIVE, well, why should we bend the rules? Because they are Polish? Sorry, this does not compute. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:01, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
