Fails WP:GNG one of a number of possibly paid for articles without references from 2007 Theroadislong (talk) 21:04, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete – Unless article can be fixed drastically (e.g. references, establishing notability). Quick google search turned up nothing useful. Redditaddict6 9 21:56, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I saw one source, but it's an interview. The gross promotional nature of the article, the lack of encyclopedic content, and that fact that Wikipedia is not here to host CV's, are all detrimental points.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:54, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

looking around a bit, I found a very recent article in the Guardian that is quite good. Changing my previous delete !vote to a comment.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:20, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I did a database search, and he has been reviewed in Artforum and other publications with some consistency (every year or two) going back to 90s. The article might be a WP:TNT though. --Theredproject (talk) 22:10, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

TRP, which database do you use for such searches? I wuld like to try that myself.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:00, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't find any sources that overcome the tests for notability and this is clearly a bought and paid for article. It needs to go. Lovelylinda1980 (talk) 13:00, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are enough coverage on the artist, his work and exhibitions - [1][2][3][4][5], his collaboration with Rebecca Warren can be sourced to a few articles - [6][7][8][9], he has exhibited widely, information about his many exhibitions can be found at the Saatchi site - [10]. It should satisfy WP:GNG. Hzh (talk) 21:03, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article can be fixed. There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to sustain an article, for example, https://frieze.com/article/fergal-stapleton. Vexations (talk) 21:14, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Needs to be rewritten, but more than enough coverage to source a decent article. Curiocurio (talk) 01:59, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep based on unincluded coverage Chetsford (talk) 23:00, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
