• Delete one source other than his personal website is not enough to pass GNG. Nothing even close to showing notability for an artist.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:46, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• comment as while it is a weak article it appears there is middling coverage http://johanvanmullem.com/press with the most relevant being Artnet and RTBF. As well some of the shows include a solo museum show in Belgium: http://www.museedixelles.irisnet.be/images/menus/les-expositions/expositions-precedentes/johan-van-mullem-menu-2-col/view--Theredproject (talk) 02:01, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Not sure how the nominator struggled to find sources: [1][2][3][4] passes GNG. -Indy beetle (talk) 00:39, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• The first two are interviews, not
  WP:SIGCOV, the third reads like a press release, and the fourth is just a listing, albeit with a photo. Edwardx (talk) 20:42, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Keep. The coverage provided by the interviews is significant. As stated in Wikipedia:Interviews#Notability: "An independent interviewer represents the 'world at large' giving attention to the subject, and as such, interviews as a whole contribute to the basic concept of notability." One is, of course, free to deem the style of the third source presented by Indy beetle to be that of a press release, but the style in which sources are written is not part of the criteria for deletion. I see no reason to assume that this text is an actual press release – for one thing, in that case it would have been a press release by Loo & Lou and you'd expect to find some of the same language back in the text covering this exposition on the gallery's website, but that text is completely different.  --Lambiam 23:07, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per sources identified by Indy and Lambiam. FloridaArmy (talk) 00:25, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and improve per coverage already linked in this discussion; improvement is necessary for the article to meet
  WP:BLP standards. Nanophosis (talk) 02:02, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply
