Roman Feral

Subject fails WP:NARTIST. I accepted this draft (written by a CoI editor) only because I think many other editors would say the subject passes the bar for WP:GNG, although I personally don't think so. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 20:26, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete all the sources given are dubious and most likely the result of press release churn and paid placement. He has no independent coverage in reliable sources.  --- Possibly &#9742; 21:02, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Sources are neither independent not reliable. Article claims coverage in the NYT, but https://www.nytimes.com/search?query=%22Roman+Feral%22 yields nothing. That "worldwide expansion in over 18 galleries" Guess who has venues in London, Monaco, Miami, New York, Courchevel, Megeve, Cannes, Honfleur? Galeries Bartoux is an international group with 18 galleries, according to itself. Also note that https://cranyz.com/international-artist-roman-feral-combines-luxury-nature/ and https://www.justluxe.com/lifestyle/arts/feature-1969082.php are the same article, only in different languages. Thought we wouldn't notice? Vexations (talk) 20:48, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, though I must say an 'interesting' strategy to accept a draft from Articles for Creation then immediately nominate it for deletion! This artist is possibly on the cusp of notability but, realistically, the only news source of any repute is Forbes and only a couple of paragraphs about Feral in that article. The other sources I'd say were 'stuff on the internet' or sources with a clear vested interest. I can't find anything else obvious online to persuade me otherwise.

 * Delete the collections are not in major galleries as is required by WP:NARTIST and the sources are obvious churnalism - the Forbes article mentioned above is a contributor piece and no more useful for notability than a random blog post. Doubtful many people would vote to keep this, to be honest. Spicy (talk) 23:49, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
