 * Strong Delete and Salt Sources are non-existent. Can't see how he is notable. Clearly fails WP:ARTIST. Delete and Salt.}} scope_creep 14:08, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - There are some sources, such as this in-depth article and these     . - MrX 21:04, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment I think he probably is an artist, and worth of inclusion if he is going to that length to get his work and other folks work on scaffolding. He is clearly driven. Make mine a Keep scope_creep 14:15, 4 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Well he is clearly not notable as an artist, he fails WP:ARTIST by a mile. He's yet another snecking entrepreneur in the publicity trade, and the only possiblity of notability rests on the company. Twelve shows does not seem very many too me; in any case that would mean moving the article. The man himself seems very ordinary indeed, and the article is puffery.TheLongTone (talk) 14:27, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Your right, I had a better read of the sources this afternoon. I don't think it warrants a keep. I just my vote back to delete and salt. scope_creep 23:52, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep per the sources provided by . The Revolt Magazine article provides substantial coverage of the subject and The New York Times article provides nontrivial coverage. There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Rodney Durso to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Keep - Barely enough to satisfy my doubts about depth of coverage. Ceosad (talk) 22:38, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete: Does not meet WP:ARTIST, but it could be very close. Current article should be edited to include sources found by Mr Delta13C (talk) 21:19, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree that he fails WP:ARTIST. But I think he passes Notability owing to the significant coverage in reliable sources, which you have not commented on. Cunard (talk) 23:16, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
