Delete. WP:BLP of an artist and writer, which just asserts that he exists and references that entirely to primary sources like his own website and his staff profile on the website of his own employer with no evidence of reliable source coverage in media shown at all. As always, an artist is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because he exists; he must be reliably sourceable as passing WP:CREATIVE for something for an article to become earned.

Comment. Entry has been updated with citations that demonstrate writing about the artist in major publications (and reliable sources) such as The New York Times and especially in principal art publications such as Artforum, ArtReview, and Frieze. Also cites various projects at major museums - Aoh5 (talk) 18:13, 9 January 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete as trivial and unconvincing given the sources are simple announcements and mentions, there's nothing seriously convincing since there's nothing for a significant article as it is. SwisterTwister   talk  05:24, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep, I feel that the pieces at ArtForum and Good Magazine arguably meet WP:BASIC by themselves. Some of the other sources here are of lesser reliability or are not in-depth coverage of the artist of his work, but I believe that, carefully sorted, there's enough. --joe deckertalk 03:32, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Still fails WP:GNG. SW3 5DL (talk) 20:52, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
