This appears to be used largely for advertising, almost no references for the content, and writing is very promotional. Jeremy112233 (talk) 19:53, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete consider A7 speedy. The only significant coverage in WP:RS is a puff-piece in the LA Times.  The other references either make very oblique references to the subject, are self-published or primary sources or are links to 404 error pages.  GoldenRing (talk) 10:05, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - here's my analysis of the sources: # 1 is behind a paywall, and is about the subject's mother, anyway. WP:NOTINHERITED applies. # 2 is a reliable source, but is sort of a feature.  #s 3-6 are dead links. Bearian (talk) 19:35, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Unsure about the paywalled bit - I don't subscribe and I could access it fine (outside the USA). But quite right - it's about his mother and makes one oblique reference to him in a picture caption. GoldenRing (talk) 19:53, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Relist Comment  At the time I closed this earlier, an editor had been adding sources to the article that were not considered in the discussion.  I'm reopening and giving this another week for further discussion and for the editor who had been working on it to demonstrate additional sources.

 * Delete as reads more like an advert than an encyclopedic article, If I'm totally honest was right to close this earlier.  →Davey 2010→  →Talk to me!→  22:56, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: I can see Artforum reviews of exhibitions at his gallery and passing mention in articles about his parents, but nothing that indicates the subject to be of encyclopaedic notability. AllyD (talk) 05:45, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BASIC. I've had a look at the sources currently present (and corrected one URL) but the coverage remains scant, meaning that little of the currently included content meets the verifiability policy, with undue weight being placed on later aspects of the subject's life. -- Trevj (talk · contribs) 10:10, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
