No evidence of notability. The references are (1) a page that doesn't mention Laurent Grasso, (2) a page at http://laurentgrasso.com, the full and complete text of which is "Laurent Grasso", and (3) page on the website of a gallery showing his work, which includes his name in lists, and that is all. (Incidentally, creator of this article has stated that he/she is the owner of that gallery.) Searches have likewise produced mainly coverage on websites of businesses and organisations which sell or exhibit his work, or otherwise cannot be regarded as independent sources.

- Keep. The majority of the very many reliable sources found by the Google News and Books links spoon-fed by the nomination process are far from "websites of businesses and organisations which sell or exhibit his work, or otherwise cannot be regarded as independent sources". Also passes WP:ANYBIO as the winner of the Prix Marcel Duchamp. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:37, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep The article needs a clean-up but the subject easily passes WP:ARTIST, WP:ANYBIO and WP:GNG. The nom fails WP:BEFORE. There are a lot of mentions in very reliable sources as Le Figaro, Washington Post, Libération, Corriere della Sera, Le Parisien, New York Times, Time... there are 259 sources in Google News and more stuff is available via Google researches. A nom-withdrawal is suggested.--Cavarrone (talk) 08:56, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
