Very, very mysterious. This subject has a—probably self-generated—profile ~~on the Saatchi Gallery website~~ ([1]), a website ([2]), and a self-published book on Amazon ([3]). But I can find nothing independent (nothing in Artforum that I could see, although the article cites it) so appears to fail WP:NARTIST. Not to be confused with Young K.

Delete This looks like a hoax. I think the Artforum citation is fake. Jenifer P. Borum (I would have given a bonus point for Jenifer in stead of Jennifer) hasn't written reviews for Artforum since 2009. He claims (on his saatchiart.com profile) to have exhibited at Mission, Rastovski and Intar Gallery. The only artist I can think of that comes close to that is Felix Gonzalez-Torres. Also, note the username of the creator, Dennis K. K. Yeung and the author of the saatchiart profile dennisyeung.
BTW saatchiart.com is NOT the Saatchi Gallery. It's a long story, but see https://news.artnet.com/art-world/charles-saatchi-sues-saatchi-art-297042 for example. Vexations (talk) 12:05, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination. The only substantive edits are by the page's creator, who hasn't edited any other pages. Looks like a DUCK to me. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 13:23, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Subject of this (likely autobiographic) article does not pass WP's criteria for notability. Fails WP:GNG, WP:ARTIST, WP:BASIC. Netherzone (talk) 14:40, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
