This article has the hallmark of WP:SELFPROMOTE - all the major edits have been made by the same editor James Monk. A Google search of the subject reveals a number of self-promotional links and very few other links. There are no significant links back to him other than Waverley Art Prize which is an article that was created by the same editor. This suggests that James monk is either Rowden himself, or somebody close to Rowden. Rowden certainly does not meet the criteria specified in WP:ARTIST Martinvl (talk) 08:54, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Article doesn't suggest sufficient notability and a search for sources failed to find anything significant. --Michig (talk) 10:41, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
