Page about a non notable painter. He has done only one exhibition in 2015 and two of his paintings were sold at $7500. After that no exhibition can be found. In 2017 he published a self-published book which none knows about. Doesn't satisfy WP:ARTIST from any angle. The artist claims to be part of lowbrow movement but there is no mention in independent media about the same other than some paid for articles about this person. There is an interview on the flaunt magazine, but being an interview it doesn't count for notability thus he lacks WP:SIGCOV as well. Also, the article badly suffers from promotionalism and reads like an advert. This painter has been portrayed as may be 100 times than what he is. And the cherry topping is the SPA who created the article and a number of other SPA that added contents in the article. Wikipedia can't be allowed to be used as a vehicle of promotion.

Comment I found several articles, but as both ritzherald (dot) com and influencive dot com are on the blacklist and have content similar to the ones I found, guessing paid for promotion/without editorial control. Has me leaning delete, but will look for more. Star Mississippi 02:03, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete "Due to massive critical reception, Azevedo was invited to exhibit pieces of his first collection "Fairy Tales" in New York and Cannes on the following year." is cited to an publication by a company that tries to sell "Luxury Beer": https://www.neuschwansteiner.com/blog/neuschwansteiner-in-cannes-luxury-art/ Some sources listed on his own website, https://www.tiagoazevedo.com/press are obvious press releases (Renderosity, Cision), others less so. The subject of this article claims that he has had "several exhibitions at major institutions, notably The Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, Canne, and Rome Museum of California Art (2014 –2017); Art Expo New York and Museum of Angra do Heroísmo". The Carroussel is a perpetual presence in art promo. It is not curated by the Louvre, even if they share a name. The "Rome Museum of California Art" is puzzling, I can't find any indication that it exists. ArtExpo New York is an art fair that will show anything, as long as you pay for a booth. Lastly, the Museu de Angra do Heroísmo is not a major institution at all, but a tiny regional museum. Vexations (talk) 12:09, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As per nominator, the topic doesn't satisfy WP:NARTIST. JoyStick101 (talk) 05:50, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
