Completely unsourced WP:BLP of an artist, which just states that he exists while failing to show any evidence that he would actually pass WP:CREATIVE for anything. As always, every person is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because he exists -- he must actually be shown and sourced as satisfying a notability criterion for an article to become earned. Bearcat ( talk) 16:59, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep He has exhibited in wide range of countries, and his works have been acquired by art galleries in a number of countries. http://www.kunstgalleriet.dk/artists/hussein-tai He has been featured in books. http://www.nisroemer.dk/Hans_Blix_Glasses_book.php There is discussion of him having received an 'Erik Hoffmeyer Prize', but I've been unable to verify what this is. So, it seems that he is plausibly notable, and that the article needs a citation for verification/notability box, not to be deleted. Ross-c ( talk) 17:26, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

- Comment I am not familiar with this guy or his field, so I won't vote. However, I don't think that people need to 'earn' Wikipedia articles. The Notability criteria wasn't created for this purpose, right? Taraella ( talk) 11:56, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
- Well, people aren't automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they exist. A person has to pass a notability criterion, and have the reliable source coverage needed to support it, before a Wikipedia article becomes appropriate — if you can think of a better word than "earned" to express the distinction between "everybody who exists automatically gets an article" and "only people who meet certain specific conditions get articles", then feel free to substitute it in lieu of "earned" as you read and interpret my statement.

- Weak delete. I can't find any in-depth coverage. The coverage I see linked in the article seems in Dannish and does not seem like major news / scholarly reviews of his work, and seems like it could be written by him or based on a resume he submitted. As such, he seems to fail WP:NARTIST, through he could meet 4b - that's somewhat debatable. But IMHO that would require a discussion of significance of his work anyway. (Of course, on a final note, we don't demand this from sport bios, which can pass AfD with just a few statistics, so...). -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:47, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- Weak Delete It looks more like a resume than an article on a noteworthy artist. Is Hussein Tai really notable? Maybe later he/she could be, but not right now. Huitzilopochtli1990 ( talk) 01:40, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete I see no substantial coverage in independent, reliable sources, and no significant critical attention. None of the notability criteria in WP:ARTIST are met. Mduvekot ( talk) 11:24, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
