*Keep. There is one museum show, but many galleries he exhibited in are not commercial, but public galleries. Shows like Public Art in Brooklyn, Armory Show in NYC are equal to museums exhibitions. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 11:38, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

• Delete Sources are weak. Vortex is a primary source. Bushwick open studios doesn't actually say anything; it is a directory. Artnet shows images of his work at his gallery, McNeill Art Group, but provides no information about him. Mutualart references some other sources, but has nothing substantial to say about him. Recology is a statement by Tripoli himself. The WYNC ref is to a radio show with Tripoli as a guest. And finally artmargins is a dead link. Following up on the mutualart link, there is indeed a mention of his work: It is not even a full sentence: "Tyrome Tripoli’s “Rubber Fan, Exhaust” (2007) seemed to recede into its own shadowiness,…" in this article. When I looked for sources I found nothing more substantial than what is listed as references. With regards to Arthistorian1977's comment that showing at Public Art in Brooklyn or the Armory Show is equivalent to a museum exhibition, I found no evidence that Tripoli showed at the The Armory Show (not to be confused with the Armory Show) or that there ever was a show called Public Art in Brooklyn that featured his work. He has had some commissions for public sculpture which don't appear to have been reviewed anywhere. In summary, this article fails WP:ARTIST on all criteria.

Thank you for looking at it, so at this point I agree that I need to reconsider my opinion and it's a Delete now. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 19:17, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
