Non-notable artist, page serves as promo and only sources are an article that makes no mention of him and a link to a bid on his piece. Chrissymad ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  15:55, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. I couldn't find any coverage of him in GNews or GBooks. As written, the article fails WP:CREATIVE. Verdict: non-notable artist. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 16:23, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Likely an autobiography, and no indication that the subject meets WP:ARTIST Mduvekot (talk) 20:35, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Dear editors. Please consider this for inclusion. We are trying to locate press that references the shows and exhibitions listed. These shows were before the internet and the articles that we have been able to find online. They are not the articles that we have hard copies of from the original date of publish. Mr. Santore has an extensive collectors list. We respectfully request and extension of 30 days to locate and submit the necessary references to meet the publishing polices. Thank you! :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.194.129.154 (talk) 21:51, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Let's get this straight. OK? There are no listings in the article of exhibits since 1989, and those prior to that are small, for-profit galleries -- or corporate offices where no member of the public will ever see this man's art. I found no media stories, nor newspaper articles, few mentions in any published books, a single free image, and nothing in the New York Times. I really don't see how 30 more days could produce any reliable source. There is another Robert Santore, but he is a chemical scholar at Syracuse University, and does not appear to be the same person as this subject. I found three listings in art magazines, but they were merely passing mentions. Not all artists are notable. We are not a free web-based gallery; we are a charity that publishes an encyclopedia.
