This autobiographical article does not establish notability with the 3 references given, and a search finds nothing usable. A news archive search returned nothing. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:49, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a published living artist and is written with a neutral point of view, external published sources are verifiable and describe the person. Thanks! Aikolugbara (talk) 20:24, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (as nom) The issue is WP:Notability which does not appear to be established by the sources.

1) Facebook Account of AikoGraphics: this illustrates the artwork but is apparently from the artist, so is not "independent"; in any case Facebook pages are not normally usable as reliable sources.

2) ADLG Blog: Blogs are not normally allowable as sources. The word "Aiko" does not occur on the page.

3) AikoGraphics Page: same Facebook page as (1).

Ext link to Ugandan Insomniac: this is also a blog, not a reliable source. Again, "Aiko" is not found on the page.

Ext link to UNESCO Survey: cites a paper by Aikobua but does not discuss it.

None of this comes close to establishing notability. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:24, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 21:08, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete interesting to see the cite in UNESCO... but still, we need reliable independent sources that talk about this author. Otherwise it fails the WP:GNG, to say nothing of the stringent standards we keep when talking about WP:BLPs. Vcessayist (talk) 01:30, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
