The article fails WP:BIO thus WP:N, WP:RS and WP:V. Please note that the article's creator ([[Materials2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)]]) only contributions to Wikipedia have been linking this article to other pages. Which also seems to be in violation of WP:SPIP for self-promotion. Likeminas (talk) 20:43, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - There may well be some self-promotion going on. However this artist appears to be notable. There are articles about him. His work has been included in major exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale as noted in the previous Italian language source and confirmed here. Unfortunately, none of the books are viewable in a google book search, but the snippets in the results indicate he does receive coverage. I am satisified that additional sourcing is available and notability is established. -- Whpq (talk) 16:05, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - The article is not well referenced, but there are plenty of sources and articles on him to determine notability. Clearly passes wp:artist. --Sulmues ^(talk) 21:09, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Tag with cite and expand templates, but subject is fully notable. Just another bad article on a good topic: no cause for nuking. Sources are not hugely obvious, mostly academic & art related, but they're plentiful. SteveStrummer (talk) 01:44, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Exhibition record established notability easily. Other issues can be dealt with as necessary. freshacconci talktalk 01:56, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Seems notable and encyclopedic...Modernist (talk) 11:32, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Per inclusion in Venice Biennale and other shows. Needs work. Ty 17:43, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
