 * Delete, despite being a translation, this article is basically a professional profile and WP:NOTLINKEDIN. The article itself doesn't establish notability. BEFORE shows a couple passing references in books and web, but nothing that establishes notability of the subject. &mdash;siro&chi;o 22:10, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - I too am leaning towards d*elete, but will hold off on !voting after I see what might be out there for sourcing. I think it is a COI or UPE creation for two reasons, 1) the promotional quality of it per 's observation and 2) because the professional, posed profile photo of the person was uploaded by the article creator as their "own work" so it is clear that there is a connection between the artist and the article creator, or perhaps it is an autobiography. While that is not necessarily a reason for deletion, it could mean that claims (esp. unsourced) are puffed up. Netherzone (talk) 22:31, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - Well, it did not take long to find that there are not reliable sources that we would normally find for an artist, such as reviews of exhibitions in art magazines or newspapers, chapters in art history books or journal articles, works in the permanent collections of notable museums or national galleries, and the like. What I did find a lot of is social media where it seems this artist is active in promoting themselves, as well as a few primary sources and user-submitted content. He does not pass WP:NARTIST or WP:GNG for notability. Netherzone (talk) 22:42, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:ARTIST. I am not finding any RS on the subject. I took a look at the images of work included in the article and have nominated them for deletion over at the commons. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:27, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
