Perhaps I'm missing something, but I can't find anything to substantiate the notability of this person. There's some coverage in a local newspaper – he had a break-in at his design studio, he doesn't like the council's plans for a garage building, he helped to co-ordinate a local project to promote graffiti on the walls of his town. I accept that a street artist may be notable without meeting the usual expectations of WP:ARTIST (work in major museum collections, exhibitions in substantial publicly-owned galleries or spaces etc); but where is the substantial in-depth coverage in several reliable sources that would allow or enable us to write an article about this one?

Delete the nom is correct: there just aren't any sources out there to establish any kind of notability. The only good source is about him being a crime victim, not an artist.104.163.147.121 (talk) 10:33, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is a significantly redacted version of a much longer article that was a gigantic WP:COPYVIO, just for the record — but even the longer version didn't reliably source any particularly strong claim of notability under WP:CREATIVE either, but was highly advertorialized and referenced almost entirely to blogs and Facebook or Instagram posts. And no, one piece of local media coverage about a break-in at his studio is not, in and of itself, enough to claim that he passes GNG in lieu of failing creative, either: if you're going for "notable because media coverage exists", rather than "notable because he's accomplished something that objectively passes a subject-specific inclusion criterion", then it takes a lot more than just one or two pieces of media coverage to get there.
