The key markers that might establish notability are either unverifiable, or misleading at best. The two key items are the claim of a "Professional Development Grant from Creative Capital" and the KW show. Neither was verifiable. To my knowledge, there is no such thing as a PDG from CC. They give out major grants, and then they have professional development workshops, for which they may offer scholarships; these are not CC grants! And he shows up nowwhere on their website. The KW exhibition, appears to only have been a talk [1] which I had to find via an obscure archive of berlin art events. Bixby does not appear on the KW website. Plus there are signs of COI editing, and clear Promo tone. Theredproject (talk) 23:14, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't find any sources showing that the artist meets WP:NARTIST or WP:GNG. I have removed some of the art jargon/promotion from the article - some of that was copyright violating text as well. --bonadea contributions talk 11:47, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Lack of sources to estbalish notability. I found one mention through Gale: "SOUNDWAVES." Santa Fe New Mexican [Santa Fe, NM], 18 Sept. 2009, p. A-74. General OneFile, http://link.galegroup.com/apps/doc/A208101541/GPS?u=wikipedia&sid=GPS&xid=95dc1959. Accessed 17 Mar. 2018. All it has is "… a one-night-only exhibit titled Noise, featuring work by New Mexico artists Martin Back, Brian Bixby, Geoff White, and David Leigh, Maryland artist Mark Brown, and Spanish artist Blanca Rego Constela".
