Promotional article created by a COI, and edited by the subject. Insufficient WP:RS that are independent and cover the subject in depth, and thus fails WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. Huff Post is not RS. Artnet is passing mention. Artsy is just a gallery page, not independent. HUBLOT is promotional/press release cruft. The Dwell lifestyle post is about his house, and his lifestyle, and would only help satisfy GNG, which it doesn't. And it says he has only been making art for 6 years -- explicitly admitting himself that this is WP:TOOSOON at best. The Nakumara Keith Haring Collection is a private collection in Japan, whose page is also flagged for notability. The line from the entry: "Flore embodies "the spirit of Keith Haring", and is closely influenced by artists such as Jean Michel Basquiat, George Condo, and Pharrell Williams." says it all. --Theredproject (talk) 14:03, 6 April 2019 (UTC) Theredproject (talk) 14:03, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. At first I thought there could be something here, as he compares himself to Pharrell Williams-- which is a good thing. Alas, there is inadequate sourcing to establish GNG.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 14:31, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

personal disagreement not related to AFD
Why would a comparison to Pharrell Williams lead you to think "there could be something here"? I don't understand that reasoning. Bus stop (talk) 14:41, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply] It was humour.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:41, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply] It was gratuitous. It was mean-spirited. Bus stop (talk) 18:43, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply] nah, not at all. I really like Pharrell. Have you seen his 24 hour version of Happy? It is genius, almost contemporary art.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 19:21, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply] It is not humorous. It is gratuitous and mean-spirited. Bus stop (talk) 19:51, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply] Oh relax. It is not gratuitous, Pharrell is mentioned in the article and in the nomination. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:07, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply] Please stick to the subject of this page. No one is interested in your extraneous comments. Bus stop (talk) 21:19, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply] Really, relax. Drop the stick.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:22, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply] Also, this is totally off topic, so I am collapsing it. Please leave it be.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:30, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply] If you are providing input to an AfD on an article on an artist, and the article fails to meet notability requirements, all you need to do is point that out. I think additional commentary is unwanted. We delete articles such as this regretfully rather than gleefully. Bus stop (talk) 01:02, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply] that's fine for you to hold that opinion on commentary, but you should try to treat the other volunteer editors with respect rather than disdain. Calling people you do not know "mean spirited" is a personal attack and a waste of time. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 14:55, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply] I apologize for the using the terminology "mean-spirited". Bus stop (talk) 19:17, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, does not meet WP:NARTIST, ie. not held at wikinotable galleries or significant exhibitions, maybe WP:TOOSOON. Coolabahapple (talk) 02:57, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
