Keep there are a number of publications that discussed the artist beyond passing mentions. Please see this^[1] and this ^[2]though it is an interview, I read that if the introductory paragraphs before the interview excerpt is up to two paragraphs the source can be used in an article. This^[3] also count and many others that have not been cited here. Capoof (talk) 11:43, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - WP:BEFORE shows most of the coverage is quasi-promotional, back-patting for upcycling. The subject fails WP:ARTIST. Not in any collections or noteworthy exhibitions. WP:TOOSOON --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:07, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Dusti ^{*Let's talk!*} 10:04, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It's WP:TOOSOON for this young emerging artist. Maybe in a few years after there is more coverage, but at this time there is not enough to pass WP:GNG nor WP:NARTIST. Netherzone (talk) 05:08, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
