Lacks independent in-depth coverage in reliable sources, either those in the article or elsewhere online - lack of WP:SIGCOV. Fails WP:GNG, WP:NCREATIVE, WP:NACTOR, and WP:NARTIST. Promotional article, created by a WP:SPA. Edwardx (talk) 20:58, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Edwardx, this article was a school project for my LGBTQ studies class at my universities. Most, if not all, the sources used were collected by my university's library. Wikipedia also allows for use of well established newspaper articles as resources. Therefore, the sources are reliable and are meeting the Wikipedia guidelines .

Another important thing to note is that, from my knowledge, Wikipedia has a minimum 3 source requirement. Of the sources I listed, there are at least 3 sources that go in-depth on the artist as they exclusively interview him and/or write about him (I'd recommend you take a look at the advocate article, and the star-advertiser articles titled "best face forward" and "MTV taps Hawaii artist to showcase Video of the Year Nominees" as examples). I do think there is room for improvement for the page and am willing to take suggestions as this is the first article I created. However, I do not think deletion is necessary.

Very sorry, NerdyAlo. I am sure it must be disheartening for you to have someone suddenly nominate your work for deletion. It really is nothing personal, and it did look rather "promotional". For example, the exhaustive "Bibliography" section. The good news is that the process takes a week, so there is plenty of time to properly consider things and to improve the article. Edwardx (talk)
Honolulu Star-Advertiser only lets me see a tiny bit of those two articles (I am based in England, and don't want to pay $13 per month to subscribe!) BUT, I can see enough to see photos of Gallarde atop each article, so we can infer they are likely both primarily about him. Both are written by Nadine Kam, and she still works there, Pieces by Nadine Kam reviewing eateries. Is there any way to view The Advocate piece online? Perhaps I was too hasty in nominating this!

Keep Interviews as sources are not independent nor necessarily reliable, yet still meets GNG in regards to the rest. Article could be adjusted in tone. But also certainly suitable for the mainspace. NiklausGerard (talk) 21:52, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - A WP:BEFORE search reveals that there is indeed significant coverage in independent reliable sources on this illustrator. He clearly meets WP:GNG criteria for notability. Netherzone (talk) 21:38, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
