Taha Afshar

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails GNG and NARTIST. The one good source comes from a suspect online publication that seems to only publish glowing monographs on artists. To wit : "He was born in Winchester in 1983 to Dr Karim Afshar and Ladan Bagheri. The city’s unique sensibility undoubtedly informed the young artist’s person and works. The ancient capital of England is the final resting place of Austen. It’s where Keats composed ‘To Autumn’ in 1819... Afshar attended Winchester College alongside Nicholas Hatfull and Oliver Osborne, both of whom would study at the Royal Academy. Until then, the trio studied under Ruskin School alumnus, Laurence Wolff, who encouraged Afshar to apply to the Drew Art Travel Prize in 2001." What journalist writes like that? In addition this had the most puffed up reference tag name I have ever seen: ". A search turns up no other in-depth coverage, and most article sources are primary. Was speedy deleted a few years back, so may be a candidate for SALT if outcome is delete. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:43, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: as an NN artist. Likely COI.  The entire article appears to have been lifted with minor word-changes to avoid the copyvio detector from one of the galleries' pages. Toddst1 (talk) 14:05, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
