All three sources are from different pages of an art book. That art book is published by the same publisher for which the subject worked/works for. He seems to be non-notable.

Comment The "art book" is an exhibition catalog for a solo exhibition at the
Pergamon Museum. I don't see any indication that the artist is affiliated with the publisher. There are also four additional sources listed in the bibliography.

Those additional sources are exhibition catalogs. Exhibition catalog has a purpose of promoting particular/respective exhibition. I don't think it would be deemed as a secondary and reliable source that is devoid of any conflict of interest with respect to that exhibition and its participants.

Note that there are also additional references in the corresponding German article (though I don't read German). I also added some additional (German) news articles under further reading.

Even I don't read German, but these web pages can easily be translated to English on Chrome. The first additional reference is his own website, the second reference is again a press release from Pergamon Museum about the exhibition. Only the third reference is an art magazine. I am not sure if this article would survive only on the basis of this art magazine (I don't know if this magazine is really notable in Germany either).

Delete lacks independent, in-depth WP:SIGCOV. I searched and could not find any additional sources beyond the book mentioned, which is the single ref supporting the article.

Keep A solo exhibition in the
Museum für Islamische Kunst is a form of exceptionally rare and serious critical attention that would trump almost any coverage in independent, reliable sources. Cases like this are why WP:ARTISTS exists. There are sufficient sources to sustain an article. The nomination for deletion hinges on the assertion that the subject works for the publisher of a book that is used as the only source. Presumably, that is Aatifi – News from Afghanistan, published by Kerber verlag. There are two problems with that: 1) there are more sources cited under Bibliography (albeit not all as inline sources, but that is not a requirement). 2) I see no evidence that Aatifi is employed by Kerber. In fact the lists of all their employees does not mention Aatafi. The assertion made by the nominator appears to be factually incorrect.

Keep. Many indications of a serious, long-term commitment to the visual arts. It is a career that has evolved over time and even geography from Afghanistan to Germany. The exhibition schedule suggests substantial recognition by opinion-makers in the area of visual art. It seems the artwork of Aatifi
has been shown at the
Berlin State Museums.
