The subject fails WP:ARTIST. BEFORE does not bring up reliable sources. The artist appears to have invented a style "Postmodern-Narrationism" and an association (World Association of Artists) and named themselves "chairman". The article is not written in NPOV and it was created by a SPA. I think this article is purely WP:PROMO with ref bombing to non-relevant sources. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:01, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I am not finding anything to substantiate the notability of this artist. Eight of the "sources" are either EN Wikipedia or Chinese Wikipedia. Other sources include 5 citations to prove they are in "Who's Who". The article is written promotionally, and seems written in a way that seems like an autobiography. I wasn't able to verify the collection, maybe another editor has better luck. Other citations are primary sources, or don't mention him at all. This newspaper has either a review or a press release that mentions him and his invented genre Narrationism (I don't read nor speak Chinese)[1] it may be the only good source. Other citations seem like sponsored content or native advertising[2] or are user submitted content.[3]. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST. Netherzone (talk) 01:38, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for your detailed research. Regarding this source^{Internet Archive} from China Yishubao (中国艺术报). The source's title is "Me and the Postmodern Narrative School" (translated from "我与后现代叙事派") and the author is listed as Chen Hao (陈豪), the subject of the article.

Delete The article was tagged as a copyright violation of https://narrationism.com/, and I agree with the tagging as the article is a word-for-word copying of the website. I did not find significant coverage in reliable sources about the subject in my searches for sources. Chen Hao (simplified Chinese: 陈豪; traditional Chinese: 陳豪) does not meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. Cunard (talk) 08:55, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
