This article is under heavy scrutiny at its Talk page for suspected sock puppetry, large amounts of (suspected) copyright infringements, dubious claims, uncited material, and I suspect it's also self-promotion. See the discussion at the Talk page for more info. ★Ama ^TALK ^CONTRIBS 23:36, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Notified: Talk:Elito Circa, User talk:Artsaqua. Reason: Notifying talk page and original author (since indefinitely blocked since it was sockpuppet). ★Ama ^TALK ^CONTRIBS 00:13, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per WP:TNT. The article is an autobiography created by a blocked sock with the same name as the artist's nom de plume, heavily edited by multiple sockpuppets and single purpose accounts and IPs from the Philipines. Undisclosed paid editing may also factor in as the article was riddled with peacockery, copyright violations and exaggerated claims. I've done quite a bit of clean up, as there might be a possibility of notability, but it is hard to sift thru the self-published and primary sourcing and I believe it would be best to delete it.

Delete Notability is possible, but not definite and the current refs aren't reliable enough to prove it. Given the issues with the article I agree that it needs to be WP:TNTed. Best, GPL93 (talk) 21:40, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
