Adam Neate

Having looked at historic news articles I can't see much evidence that Adam Neate is know for anything but giving away some pictures which may or may not be worth something. His only notability appears to be as a self-publicist. Speedy delete failed, and I now realise that request was not appropriate as the article did attempt to assert some notability. Therefore I've proposed a normal deletion. Pontificake (talk) 21:48, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable artist. There are plenty of sources on Google News and Google News Archive. He's been called "one of the world's best-known street artists" by Telegraph.co.uk and has received a lot of coverage about him giving away many of his works of art in London. The Google News Archive search on this artist shows that he has received a fair amount of coverage before he started giving free paintings, negating the nom's assertion of WP:BLP1E. The numerous reliable sources that can be found about him show that this individual passes WP:BIO. Cunard (talk) 23:11, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per Cunard's evidence, I believe that Neate is notable enough according to WP:BIO to allow this article to remain. Terrakyte (talk) 23:38, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, not even a remote chance of deletion. Even the nom admits notability. It doesn't matter what notability is for, only that it exists. I suggest withdrawal of nom, so this can be a speedy keep. Ty 03:38, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I agree there are plenty of reputable sources to establish notability. LinguistAtLarge
Keep. There are plenty of reputable sources about his work (he was also featured in a 5-10 minute segment on SMart which only shows notable artists) - Mgm|^(talk) 09:08, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
