I can't find any reliable sources in any language with significant coverage of the subject to pass WP:GNG, and nothing suggests that the subject satisfies any of the WP:ARTIST criteria: only one of his works is hosted by a notable museum, i.e. none are a substantial part of a significant exhibition or represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums (italicization is mine), and thing that would possibly fall under a significant new concept, theory, or technique is a manifesto of his art movement posted on a blog. — MarkH₂₁^talk 08:47, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment without commenting on notability, I noticed that there has been a bit of a campaign by SPAs Special:Contributions/B.a.c.i.4. and Special:Contributions/Trilly20 starting in 2008. The notability concerns have been reaised earlier but were fought by the SPAs. It looks a lot like autobiographical promotion. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 18:20, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Excluding the unknowns of the References section, I'm only seeing one potential reliable source, the book authored by Paolo Levi et al. Otherwise, there's just an extensively cited press release, and self-published materials. It's not enough to pass WP:GNG. Curiocurio (talk) 02:15, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I have not been able to find any significant coverage of the subject in independent, reliable sources. Vexations (talk) 02:25, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I'm not finding anything that substantiates notability. If I'm not mistaken, the collections are catalogs in libraries, not works held in collections of major museums. The article seems like a promo piece. But if sigcov in reliable sources turn up, I might be persuaded. Netherzone (talk) 03:30, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
