This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Artists (in the visual arts only). It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Artists|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Artists (in the visual arts only). For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

I cannot find any independent sources on this artist or his work outside of a single review published in Frieze. This fails WP:ARTIST. Rocfan275 (talk) 19:17, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Artists and California. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 01:53, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment he is now a professor at Cal State Fullerton - [1] is a piece from the student newspaper about him. But that isn't "independent" coverage. Walsh90210 (talk) 01:58, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: No listing in the Getty ULAN. This is all I could find, but it won't open from my location due to copyright restrictions [2] and it's only one source, not enough to pass notability. Oaktree b (talk) 03:16, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Not notable enough. Fails WP:GNG. There is not enough significant coverage about him. The results of internet search are mostly brief mentions and/or self-published. Prof.PMarini (talk) 22:49, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete I found more articles about him and his art:

The first is a half page (small type) about an individual show; the second has a paragraph about him in the review of a group show. I wasn't able to access the third. Lamona (talk) 19:58, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NBIO; no WP:SIGCOV. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 06:34, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Artists, Visual arts, Nigeria, and Washington. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 06:34, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Several of the references are SIGCOV from newspapers or magazines such as https://www.realchangenews.org/news/2019/11/20/figurative-collage-artist-jite-agbro-explores-who-belongs I think they are enough to establish notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 09:39, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I would prefer it if my page was not deleted, please tell me how to move forward. I did not write this page, and I'm not a regular Wikipedia user so I'm not sure how to do anything about this. OnaJiteA (talk) 04:58, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: User:OnaJiteA just edited this article to make it read like an autobiography (hence the username). I reverted the edit and warned the user. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 04:22, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I did realize I was not supposed to edit this page, I got an email saying I should enhance it. I just updated it again, so my apologies. I will stop

  editing it now OnaJiteA (talk) 04:56, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Sorry, I did not realize I'm not supposed to edit the page OnaJiteA (talk) 04:59, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @OnaJiteA Hi, from who did you get the email saying you should enhance it? Random emails are highly suspicious and they might be trying to scam you. Read this Wikipedia scam warning and stay aware. Ca ^{talk to me!} 10:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - fails WP:ARTIST. Nice stuff but WP:TOOSOON. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:14, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
