No reliable secondary sources. External links section points to a couple interviews, but just interviews can’t uphold an entire article. This deletion discussion is alongside Typhoon Saturday. This page was created by an IP address (IP is coincidentally is in the same place Nick Robinson is from), and was later edited by accounts named "Iamnickrobinson" and "Robinnick" a.k.a the most obvious WP:COI violation of the decade.

Delete - This promotional article (seems like it is mostly an autobiographic creation) on an artist does not meet notability criteria WP:NARTIST nor WP:GNG. Netherzone (talk) 17:08, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Need more sources and sections are unsourced. Xegma(talk) 17:38, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I can't find enough coverage about this person; [1] was the best I could bring up. Tried French sources as well as he's lectured in France, nothing... Oaktree b (talk) 18:53, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can't find any book reviews, nothing in the Getty ULAN [2], so doesn't seem to pass artist or author notability either. Oaktree b (talk) 18:54, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think this can be salvaged as notable. Many books on origami and he is listed as a contributor to the online Encyclopædia Britannica . Heavy online presence as an origami teacher. I hope to take a longer look at this in the next couple a days. I ran out of steam after creating (losing and the recreating) the source analysis for Gar Waterman. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:30, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is a review of his solo album by Jazz Journal. toweli (talk) 08:01, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~Merge~~ Redirect into List of origamists. I don't think a notable case can be made for jazz work. I cannot find reliable sourcing (reviews or works in collections) for a stand alone article. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:08, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:MILL. He’s been the president of a club with 700 members. He had a jazz album that one person reviewed. He’s a nice guy. Bearian (talk) 01:35, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Leaning delete. Have added a reference, but it doesn't take him near notability. Rather surprised not to find book reviews to consider him under WP:NWRITER, but as none of us can find them I think it's just not there. Tacyarg (talk) 08:33, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

just to say, "Iamnickrobinson" and "Robinnick" are absolutely nothing to do with me - I'm not that naïve! I'm clearly no wiki expert(!) but feel having written 120+ books and being possibly the most published origami author outside of Japan should be worth a page? Maybe I'm missing the point of wiki. I have many reviews on amazon. There are more here https://www.giladorigami.com/origami-books-by/Nick%20Robinson

Googling me brings up 12 pages of results.

I have a parallel music career but don't know how (or if) this could be incorporated into wiki - your advice would be appreciated.

further: I have hundreds of magazine & newspaper articles, have worked in Japan, America, Dubai and all over Europe, worked for the BBC, Channel 4, Google, the Guardian, Kellogs, Verve Cliquot, Waddingtons, V&A museum, Xerox etc. Robinsonnick (talk) 16:20, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Robinsonnick, I'm confused as to what is meant by this: just to say, "Iamnickrobinson" and "Robinnick" are absolutely nothing to do with me - I'm not that naïve!, please explain when you find a moment. Thanks. Netherzone (talk) 16:33, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Netherzone, those accounts are mentioned in the nomination statement. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:37, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
