Delete non-notable myspace artist who fails general notability guidelines. JBsupreme (talk) 18:29, 18 February 2010 (UTC) Keep artist has at least exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and the London Tate, which are both respected museums. These claims are backed up by third parties at [1] and [2], which makes him pass the first criterion of WP:ARTIST. Other claims check out as well. This just needs some references, that's all.

Keep per Smocking. An artist who has exhibited at Stedelijk and Tate and has been covered in Frieze easily passes WP:ARTIST. I'm not certain how the description "myspace artist" applies here. The article needs work, but notability is obvious. freshacconci talktalk 03:09, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notability is glaringly obvious even in the article when nominated.[3] I fail to see why the nom highlights MySpace and ignores the Tate and Stedelijk Museum. The nominator might like to read WP:BEFORE, and also check out the links above for Google, Books, and Scholar. All this needed was {{refimprove}} or a note on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Visual_arts.
