Fails WP:GNG and WP:RS. Notability is in doubt. Zazzysa ( talk) 18:59, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

- Delete, on the basis he's had a couple of big ticket buyers but his presence is largely on Pinterest and eBay at the moment (he only started out on this career path a couple of years ago). I can only find one, rather flaky local news article about him. Currently fails WP:GNG. Sionk ( talk) 21:14, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
- Comment Whether or not an artist sells their artwork, and at what price, has zero direct bearing on their notability and this deletion discussion. If there are significant reliable sources about their selling prices (e.g. the recent Davinci sale) then those can be considered, but not the price on its own. 198.58.171.47 ( talk) 03:06, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
- I don't think anyone's said anything different. By "big ticket" I suppose I mean "big pockets", because we don't know what price they were allegedly sold for (the claim is only sourced to a photo of a boardroom on Wikimedia). I imagine the claim was put in the article to show Ellis is more than an amateur 'Sunday painter', but all the same there's currently negligible evidence he meets WP:NARTIST.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- I only mentioned it because you gave price as part of the rationale for deletion. "Delete, on the basis he's had a couple of big ticket buyers". You said it. 198.58.171.47 ( talk) 00:06, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Sources are negligible and do not support either WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST. 198.58.171.47 ( talk) 00:11, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
