WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST fail. Having looked at many artist biographies, I noticed that this one lacks mention of significant exhibitions or activities. There is a long, tortuous discussion of his notability on the talk page; in my experience notable artists do not usually require such a long discussion, as their accomplishments are visible and easily demonstrated. The independent, in-depth sources that make notability assessments easy are absent here. The sources I saw in a search were self-published or published in sketchy publications like "Bloom Magazine".
An image search for his name is interesting, as it shows most of images returned are associated with wiki-type sites; I did not see any images linked to reviews or significant galleries or museums. In short, this looks like a vanity or promotion-driven page for an artist who does not meet our notability standard. Possibly ( talk) 22:47, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
*Strong Keep The problem isn't the fact that the artist is obscure, it is the simple fact that the sources are in the Basque language and are difficult to determine whether they are sufficient quality for the article. There is certainly sufficient coverage to satisfy
WP:SIGCOV, proving that he is a genuine artist who passes
WP:NARTIST. There wouldn't be so many mentions of him, since the graph was updated, if that wasn't the case. I think the Basque newspaper coverage in
Deia combined the some references from the artistic site would be sufficient for the article as stands.

If the artist is recognized remarkable in more than 45 articles worldwide in many different languages of Wikipedia and was accepted by each and every one of the editors, administrators of those countries it will be because everyone considers him remarkable, otherwise it would have been deleted and rejected.

The next thing you can do is another ten thousand articles by American Indian artists saying they have their work in the National Museum of the American Indians.-- Sorginak ( talk) 17:44, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
This is a comment. Just as you can make an individual item for each Inuit who has an object in the Inuit museum, so you can make an individual item for each American Indian who has an object in the American Indian museum. Offensive is attacking with assumptions, misinterpretations, and unfounded conclusions towards my person when I have NOT written any article. Abuse of power is gathering a small group of publisher friends to attack me without having published anything. It is offensive to lie like you said the book was for sale. Ridiculous is threatening to remove the article and remove the photos and hypocritical is asking others what you do not do.-- Sorginak ( talk) 18:04, 13 January 2021 (UTC) ... and all this for posting a photo.-- Sorginak ( talk) 18:19, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
