ROA (artist)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is about a graffiti artist who's only notable achievement is being entered in an art competition. While the sources might prove this it is not in itself a notable enough achievement to be entered in an encyclopedia. --TheRealCrews (talk) 22:39, 24 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - obviously WP:POINT-y nomination in retaliation for Articles for deletion/Jamey Harrow. I am the original author and I take care to write articles on subjects that have been picked up by reliable published sources (which can be extremely difficult with street artists in particular). Subject has been covered in-depth in The Guardian, covered in five articles in the Hackney Gazette and an appraisal in the French Graffiti Art Magazine, for example (as well as numerous street art blogs which are less reliable and as a result haven't been included).

 * Delete This article is about someone who has not made a notable contribution, this is not a retaliation and your argument that it is does not make the person notable. Anyone can nominate any article for deletion if they feel they have a valid reason please read WP:AFG --TheRealCrews (talk) 23:34, 24 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Quite some coincidence then, this being your first AfD nomination! Sionk (talk) 23:57, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
