Non-notable artist. all sources provided are routine coverage, no independent sigcov provided to establish notability. Jdcooper ( talk) 11:59, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

- Question - Can an article on a "web artist" use embedded links?--

- Good question. I'm guessing you mean these in the Web Art section:
- I don't think it's a good idea for digital/new media artists to have embedded URL links, as it opens the door for all artists' articles (and musicians, etc.) to have embedded URL links.
- Embedded links are prone to link rot, and also could contain malware (not sure if WP's server filters out malware or not, tho.) I think we should stick to standard citations, and material on Commons for visuals and other media files. Netherzone ( talk) 21:59, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete WP:BEFORE does not turn up significant coverage. Some of references in the article show that the audio art exists, but is not significant coverage. The article do not state why the artist is notable and I can't find anything on the web. The sentence "In the last few years, he has increasingly used the strategy of deleting and withdrawing." doesn't mean anything. This article seems like a resume rather than an encyclopedic article. Also I deleted the embedded links-- WomenArtistUpdates ( talk) 00:38, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - Sometimes artists who are multidisciplinary like Korn, slip through the cracks of history because they don't neatly fit into art historians and critics genre-boxes. This may be the case with Korn, who does a lot of different things from audio to video to film to new media, to writing. However after going thru all the existing sources in the article all I found were primary sources like links to online music sources, press releases, calendar listings, recording announcements, etc. but nothing in the way of SIGCOV. He won a few non-notable awards, the most prestigious is an Honorable Mention from Ars Electronica, but that is not enough for WP:ANYBIO. An online search did not prove fruitful. At this time he fails WP:GNG, WP:NARTIST, and WP:MUSICBIO. I found a professor named Christoph Korn, and got excited because they have a high citation index and thought he might meed NACADEMIC, but alas, that is another Christoph Korn, a neuroscientist. I think the article should be deleted unless someone finds substantial independent coverage in reliable sources; I remain open-minded and am willing to change my !vote if substantial sources are found.
