 * He's "a photographer, poet and award-winning graphic artist". Well, I can lay claim to two of those, but I'm in no way notable, and Zheng's article contains nothing to suggest that he is either. Delete. Emeraude (talk) 13:16, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per G4 or A7. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 15:56, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I too can lay claim to two, but no notability for either. I have just read the previous discussion, and would recommend it. It won't win the Booker, but it's definitively worth a quick skim if you haven't time for a leisurely read. The latest version of the article isn't a patch on the original that got deleted, by the way. I've declined the G4 for this reason. Peridon (talk) 17:48, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Leaning Delete - However, here's an article from The Bay Area Reporter that constitutes significant coverage from a reliable source, but I haven't found additional similar RS at this time:
 * Political Notebook: Artist's show combines politics and poetry


 * Here's some press coverage that's paywalled, but I don't have full access to it. Here's what I've found thus far:
 * SHOW OF COLORS ENGAGES THE EYE
 * Google news search summary: "... and Ron Zheng's 'Moody' -- a black and white male portrait that has been altered with bright strokes of colored paint. Using soft blue and green pastel colors,..."


 * If more sources similar to the The Bay Area Reporter are found, which constitute significant coverage in reliable sources, this !vote can change. Northamerica1000(talk) 20:21, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
