All I'm seeing is blatant promotion. On the off chance that he's notable, the article needs WP:TNT to achieve some readability. Timmyshin ( talk) 02:39, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
- Delete for being a resume and staying like that for over 3 years. AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 05:16, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Delete - Borderline notability. However, article is so poorly written there's no salvageable content. WP:TNT applies per nom.- Zanhe ( talk) 20:23, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Article is much better after Arthistorian1977's cleanup; TNT no longer applies. And I'm convinced of his notability with this China Daily profile, and multiple exhibitions at major galleries and art museums. - Zanhe ( talk) 19:55, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Strong Keep The article is poorly written and need rework, but there is no any doubt the subject is notable and passing WP:ARTIST with exhibitions in Saatchi Gallery, Seattle and Chicago Art Museums. I also found his work in permanent collection of ICP Museum in NYC just doing a 1 minute google search [1]. Arthistorian1977 ( talk) 09:58, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- Note. I cleaned up most of the promotional material and removed reference style list of exhibitions, as well as added some references Arthistorian1977 ( talk) 11:05, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

- Keep per Arthistorian1977 and Zanhe's input. The subject is also discussed in a 2004 Washington Post article – via HighBeam (subscription required) . Enough I think for WP:ARTIST. AllyD ( talk) 19:26, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
