Contested draftification, so we're here. While language is an issue, sourcing is mostly inappropriate for a BLP and no assertion he meets N:ARTIST. Appears to be a commercial artist, vs. one who would be in a museum or otherwise meet Notability criteria. Star Mississippi 23:07, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Artists, India, and Gujarat. Star Mississippi 23:07, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, it's not the first time the article was pushed into mainspace. In any case, the sources seem mostly promotional in nature, so I would say delete. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 00:44, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
They've been promoting the artist for a month now. I will block for UPE if they don't declare. Star Mississippi 01:44, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you are right, I am promoting the artist because, Rogan painting artist is now rare. now only two artists, that's why I care so much. this is not for promotional purposes. Thanks Usblogger27 (talk) 02:50, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That is not the purpose of Wikipedia. Please stop, or you will be blocked. Star Mississippi 12:10, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Per Usblogger27's recent claim, it seems the issue is leaning towards WP:ADVOCACY. But they are unable to accept that Wikipedia is not for it per WP:NOTADVOCACY. Twinkle1990 (talk) 12:47, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. A strange article I have seen. I have checked about the article person in all Google search (found nothing) and the references also. Even those YouTube videos too don't cite the article person instead the art. Twinkle1990 (talk) 12:30, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Move back to draft and move-lock the page so as to require administrative review before this can be restored to mainspace again. BD2412 T 17:51, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I can't find any indication this person passes WP:NARTIST. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:51, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article bears a similarity to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ashish shantilal kansara. Very questionable pictures uploaded to the Commons. The article is about a working craftsman, but does not rise to the level of notable. Quite a bit of the article is about Rogan painting rather than the artisan.

Thanks, that was helpful. I just pinged you in the SPI Star Mississippi 02:02, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Move back to draft, agree with BD2412, I could see this becoming an article, but it's certainly not ready for mainspace in its current form. Wikipedialuva (talk) 06:00, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
