Fails

WP:GNG. 4 pageviews in 30 days for an American BLP is very low. Edwardx (talk) 17:24, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply

*Keep I’m seeing sufficient coverage, both in depth and continuing, that I’m not comfortable with deletion. Page views may be low, but irrelevant as sourcing is sufficient in my mind. Jo7hs2 (talk) 17:46, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, although at the present it's more of a resume than an encyclopedic article, the sources are enough to keep, and hopefully at some point the page will expand. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:59, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Discounting the blocked sockpuppet there does not appear to be a strong consensus one way or another. As a suggestion, perhaps elaboration on which specific sources show notability and/or why they are insufficient would help form consensus?

  • Comment The items referenced in the article, if they are verifiable, are insufficient to show
    WP:NARTIST. The article fails to show that Genovese has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, or won significant critical attention, or been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. As I have previously commented, the references are mostly local and quite a few are dead links. He is a working artist who exhibits, but I cannot find any material online that shows notability.

  • Delete Sourcing in the article is problematic (there are a lot of dubious sources here, source 11 being a link to the Frost Art Museum homepage for instance, while source 9 is a 404 - let alone the others already flagged as failing verification - and this is typical of the quality of references), there simply is little or even arguably no evidence subject passes WP:GNG.

  • Delete. There isn't even a real notability claim in the article. -- asilvering (talk) 00:58, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
