I tried to clean this BLP article up today; in the process I don't think this meets WP:GNG. Also there are still a lot of issues with reliable sources WP:RS as of now. If you look at the prior AfD from October 2008 and the article talk page there is a history of either COI or sock puppet issues too.

 * Comment: I will add there are a lot of citations on the article right now, but many of them are poor sources, primary sources, or merely mention his name. Joojay (talk) 04:59, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment — @, if they have their art work exhibited isn’t that per se a requisite in WP:CREATIVE for then to be considered notable? Celestina007 (talk) 21:16, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately they have no significant exhibitions, so it does not meet the criteria for WP:CREATIVE. Joojay (talk) 21:19, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Keep — Meets a criterion from WP:CREATIVE. Celestina007 (talk) 21:16, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment — @, which exhibition is considered "significant" for this artist, in your opinion? Joojay (talk) 21:24, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @, In all, at the very least, I think a WP:BASIC argument can be made here. I’m striking out my original !vote and changing it to WK. Celestina007 (talk) 21:45, 5 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Week keep — I believe the summation of all the sources optimized here makes a BASIC argument plausible. Celestina007 (talk) 21:45, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment — @, which source(s) has "depth of coverage", all I see here is trivial coverage of a subject (unless it was a primary source or self-published). Joojay (talk) 21:52, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * BASIC doesn’t require WP:SIGCOV or WP:INDEPTH to be met that is literally the idea of WP:BASIC as opposed to GNG. Celestina007 (talk) 21:58, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * If you read the description again on WP:BASIC, "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." I am asking, where is there significant coverage? He has multiple sources as I stated before just in name, it doesn't fulfill BASIC, GNG, CREATIVE. Joojay (talk) 22:07, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Also as a reminder this is a BLP, and the primary sources don't count towards notability of a subject.Joojay (talk) 22:10, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * @ “” you keep asking for SIGCOV when BASIC doesn’t require SIGCOV and what you stated above pertains to GNG not BASIC. Celestina007 (talk) 09:33, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I just peeped 's, rationale for the Keep close which for record purposes I hadn’t done prior now & the rationale they gave for closing this as a Keep back in 2008 correlates with why I !voted a week keep. Celestina007 (talk) 09:55, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
