PROMO article created by a banned UPE sockpuppet editor User:Jeremy112233 that fails every applicable notability guideline (ANYBIO, GNG, NARTIST). There just are no sources, because he isn't notable. Neither of the companies he has run are notable or would pass NCORP. The only source with any detail is this profile from the school he went to, on the occasion of his creation of a scholarship in his name, in honor of his daughter that also goes to that school. So... not in any way independent. [1] Theredproject (talk) 18:18, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This appears to be someone with a hobby, who has not been the subject of professional critical discourse. I see no significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Vexations (talk) 19:48, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The Who's Who in Art listed here is no longer published, but I suspect in any case that one self-nominates for most of those publications. He has self-published a book that is a someone's life story. [2]. The only notable thing that I can find is that his art is for sale at Saatchi and for impressive 5-figure prices. Nothing, though, indicates that works have actually sold. Most of the article is about his call center business, and that doesn't rise to the level of notability.
