Significant activity on the page written by the subject of the page, including accounts that look suspiciously like sock-puppets. Only two external references, and one is a link to a portfolio site (WP:RS). The article seems more like self-advertisement than anything else (it even includes two headshots).

Delete - I could not find any significant, verifiable coverage in reliable sources. Why so many photos of the the artist himself? That seems like PROMO, possible COI issues. Netherzone (talk) 19:44, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The second citation, is basically just an artwork collection, there isn't anything about him. Also, there isn't that much significant coverage, meaning no notability. Analog Horror, (Speak) 21:24, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:SPAM, WP:MILL, WP:OUTCOMES, WP:CREATIVE, WP:V, and WP:SIGCOV. This is a spammy essay about a run of the mill artist - he has an atelier, but no gallery to represent him. Although an artist based in a World cultural capital can be notable, it's far from automatic; see e.g., Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jason McCoy Inc. Because photographers are so common, we tend to be especially cautious at AfD. The inability to source peacock-y claims from reliable sources is suspicious. 21:00, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
