Does not satisfy WP:ARTIST. I've stubbed the article because none of the sources supported any of the material. Some of it almost seemed like a joke, although I think the person exists. You're welcome to look at the version before I slashed it. Also, if you look back at the history of the article, which was created by a single purpose account, some of the material (no longer there) was truly weird, also almost like an unbalanced mockery.

Delete - my search revealed little to nothing, a few mirrors of the version that was here before Bbb23 correctly trimmed it back. Off2riorob (talk) 13:27, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete One of the earlier versions cited an article (published by Baltimore Chronicle) describing an incident over the removal of the painting 'Hitler in France' from the City Hall in Baltimore. It was covered also here and here (Baltimore City Paper). That's all I found, and I don't think that this single isolated incident is enough to meet our notability requirements. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 08:52, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- There is no indication of any notability, it's barely even a page.Vincelord (talk) 15:14, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as failing WP:GNG. My thanks to the nominator for recommendation of the article history - I found the statement that the subject's "affinity for surrealism and disruption is apparent" to be ironic! ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 22:26, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Further comment - previous revisions of the page that relate to apparent obsessions with shoes and NSFW photos of the subject's sister make me think this article is a hoax or piss-take page. Sooner gone the better in my estimation. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 22:32, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
