Not sure about this one, but User:Jonescromwell looks like a WP:SPA, promoting this guy. I'm not sure whether Pocheptsov is notable or not, let's decide here. bender235 (talk) 01:05, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can assure you I'm not affiliated with pocheptsov directly, unless you count owning one of his artworks as an association. He's been featured in some pretty major magazines and news stations (like Oprah, good morning america), and textbooks for children. I can't verify the content on the page firsthand since I don't know the guy, but that's what I gathered from articles and news sources online. I didn't cite any newspapers or past TV appearances, however, since I'm not sure how to cite those. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonescromwell (talk • contribs) 01:40, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep World famous in Wilmington [1]. Nowhere else, but cut the kid a break.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 02:16, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete I can't find anything other than local coverage. There are a bit of grandiose claims in the local paper that I can't find duplicated in other reliable sources. Taking into account his age and the fact that he's still up and coming in the art scene I think deletion at this state is best, with no prejudice against future recreation if his notability grows.
