Fails WP:PHOTOGRAPHER. Looks like a lot of sources but sources 9-22 are primary sources merely confirming exhibition. LibStar (talk) 00:28, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. I found this through the academic deletion sorting list but for people with academic positions in the practice of art rather than its scholarship, WP:NARTIST is far more likely than WP:PROF as a notability criterion. He had a solo show at the Johannesburg Art Gallery, which does count for a lot for me (as the only thing in the article that stands out) but I think is not enough by itself. I'd like to see the same, or preferably inclusion in the permanent collection, at more than one major museum. Reliably published reviews of (multiple) shows would also contribute, if they can be turned up. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:37, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. My search didn't find anything that would contribute toward GNG notability, and the Johannesburg Art Gallery show doesn't seem to be the sort of "significant exhibition" that would trigger WP:NARTIST. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:40, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
