Clear GNG and NARTIST fail, previously deleted and salted, and discussed at great length. I would also encourage editors to look at the images in the sources given. The images used in the articles are either shots of sculptures in someone's living room or backyard, or photoshopped concoctions. My take is that the sources given are largely paid coverage. --- Possibly (talk) 21:13, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete and salt - We just went through a very lengthy deletion procedure for this article; this permuation is the same article with a slightly different name. It has been spammed across many languages of Wikipedia by a series of IPs originating in the Basque region. The subject of the article fails WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST, it is unquestionably a coordinated promotional effort, most likely by a PR firm or another undeclared COI editor. Sources are weak, self-published or user-submitted content. Question, how can we get the former AFD to show up in the box at upper right? Netherzone (talk) 21:22, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * old afd now listed at top.--- Possibly (talk) 21:46, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I also wanted to add that after another BEFORE search there still is no indication of an exhibition record, nor museum shows or collections. Netherzone (talk) 02:24, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's clearly self-promotion without any basis for notability. Unfortunately we have to endure another Afd to get rid of this, but that's the policy.--- Possibly (talk) 02:26, 3 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment I suspect UPE, but the page is different with more references than the previous deletion. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:28, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * the creator does seem to be very skilled, pumping out lots of new articles recently.--- Possibly (talk) 21:37, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , there was a lengthy discussion in the previous AfD that most of these references are user-submitted content, PR efforts, blogs, or other questionable sources. I'm pretty sure there is nothing "new" here.  Netherzone (talk) 21:41, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Should be easy to prove it is worthy of deletion then. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:09, 2 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete and salt. How many iterations of this article must be deleted? The subject is not notable, and the salting of the common name was evaded by using this article name. It should be salted as well. --Kbabej (talk) 03:46, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete (not sure what salt means here) - I was a mild keep for the original page but if that was deemed to fall foul of policy, so be it, it should not turn into whack-a-mole. Akerbeltz (talk) 22:27, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * salt means that the page title would be protected against creation. At that point a user who wants to create the page needs to ask an admin to unprotect it.--- Possibly (talk) 22:42, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * ah thanks. Yes, that would make sense. Akerbeltz (talk) 11:34, 4 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment It is necessary to remind you Akerbeltz that your last words were that this article had enough references (more than other articles), and that you did not find any problem maintaining the article.--Gorriako (talk) 12:21, 8 March 2021 (UTC) Acocunt globally locked for socking after Commons CU, see this.--- Possibly (talk) 20:05, 9 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete I stand by everything I said in the previous discussion. This time I'm fed up enough to support a block and a ban for all involved in the promotion of the subject. Delete and salt all variants of the article title. Vexations (talk) 12:25, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * most of the related accounts, including the author of this article, are now blocked.--- Possibly (talk) 22:05, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * You must allow Possibly to comment on the subject in question on this talk page and NOT block it and delete its comments.--Gorriako (talk) 12:21, 8 March 2021 (UTC) Acocunt globally locked for socking after Commons CU, see this.--- Possibly (talk) 20:05, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd check this IP also: Netherzone (talk) 22:17, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * and let's add .--- Possibly (talk) 23:30, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * this one also - - they removed the speedy deletion template twice. Netherzone (talk) 23:38, 4 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete No reason to keep. The analysis was done in the last Afd 6 weeks ago.   scope_creep Talk  12:56, 5 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment Precisely you Talk was the person who took this article from the draft to the main page with the help of Akerbeltz because it was well written, with valid sources and references.--Gorriako (talk) 12:21, 8 March 2021 (UTC) Acocunt globally locked for socking after Commons CU, see this.--- Possibly (talk) 20:05, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 *  Not Delete Adding and expanding the article, as well as adding fonts, and allowing time for it to occur, is far superior to simply deleting the article. Also with Wikidata, a short description of each topic is now allowed in any language, with the only requirement that an article be in a single language. --Txalaparrta (talk) 12:00, 7 March 2021 (UTC) — Txalaparrta (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * This account has pretty obvious similarities to Sorginak (SPI), in case a checkuser is passing through here.--- Possibly (talk) 18:05, 7 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete and salt generously, at all possible contortions of the name. Theredproject (talk) 19:50, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

 * You mean user:Gorriako = user:Ridership?--- Possibly (talk) 19:05, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , I wonder if Gorriako understands that they are indefinitely blocked under all the other known accounts that they have used, and that continuing to edit, either logged in under a new account, or logged out and editing as an IP is WP:BLOCKEVASION. That means that anyone is free to revert any edits made in violation of a block, without giving any further reason and without regard to the three-revert rule.

 * Comment The discussion remains open, but Possibly is executing the sentence without a definitive consensus, ordering to delete all wikis with the argument of Spam and crossed wiki. It is necessary to remember that this is NOT Spam and it is NOT a cross wiki. With Wikidata, a short description of each topic is now allowed in any language and wiki, with the only requirement that an article be in a single language and it is not considered spam and not a cross Wiki.--Gorriako (talk) 12:21, 8 March 2021 (UTC) Acocunt globally locked for socking after Commons CU, see this.--- Possibly (talk) 20:05, 9 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment I noticed that the Italian version of this article has been speedily deleted (for the third time, nota bene). Vexations (talk) 22:34, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - The Spanish version was deleted yesterday or the day before but a User:Edgeblack recreated it today. It is the only edit they have ever made, and the article was a clone of the one deleted. Seems like Gorriako and Edgeblack are part of the sock drawer. Netherzone (talk) 23:10, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
