Previous version of article deleted after AfD - see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ron_L._Zheng. No claim of notability established. gråb whåt you cån (talk) 12:16, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He's "a photographer, poet and award-winning graphic artist". Well, I can lay claim to two of those, but I'm in no way notable, and Zheng's article contains nothing to suggest that he is either. Delete. Emeraude (talk) 13:16, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete per G4 or A7. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 15:56, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I too can lay claim to two, but no notability for either. I have just read the previous discussion, and would recommend it. It won't win the Booker, but it's definitively worth a quick skim if you haven't time for a leisurely read. The latest version of the article isn't a patch on the original that got deleted, by the way. I've declined the G4 for this reason. Peridon (talk) 17:48, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning Delete - However, here's an article from The Bay Area Reporter that constitutes significant coverage from a reliable source, but I haven't found additional similar RS at this time:

Political Notebook: Artist's show combines politics and poetry

Here's some press coverage that's paywalled, but I don't have full access to it. Here's what I've found thus far:

SHOW OF COLORS ENGAGES THE EYE

Google news search summary: "... and Ron Zheng's 'Moody' -- a black and white male portrait that has been altered with bright strokes of colored paint. Using soft blue and green pastel colors,..."

If more sources similar to the The Bay Area Reporter are found, which constitute significant coverage in reliable sources, this !vote can change. Northamerica1000^(talk) 20:21, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
