• Delete there is no significant coverage in reliable sources. Fails WP:ARTIST and WP:GNG. GSS ^💬 07:48, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• What do you mean by this? The article is referenced with more notable link sources, so why should it be deleted?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Lethabo Exp (talk • contribs)

Comment interestingly, not one but two accounts (Lethabo Exp and Shloq pro) tried to remove the AFD notices on the article. --- Possibly (talk) 05:32, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Seems like another case of WP:TOOSOON. Also fails WP:NARTIST. Sungodtemple a tcg fan!!1!11!! (talk) 11:20, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• It's not clear : this article has been in existence for over a decade - why is it suddenly unable to meet the criterion for notability? From what I saw in the last edit - there were many entries in the References section of the article including a 2005 article in The Hindu newspaper in which it is stated that the artist's technique is unique and was rare in 2005. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.83.142.231 (talk • contribs) 15:14, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete fails all notability tests. I am scratching my head about what if anything is notable about this artist. The do not seem to have had serious exhibitions. The article is a promotional story about a non-notable artist. I am supposed it has been here so long, as it does not deserve to be. Appears to be a sock effort, see accounts above that have removed AfD notices.--- Possibly (talk) 05:42, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Fails WP:SIGCOV. scope_creep^Talk 17:57, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
