Unambiguous promotion. Not a single independent reliable source. "Orit Fuchs becomes an international artist in February 2017, after presenting in the Artist Project in the Better Living Centre in Toronto, Canada" may sound impressive to people who are unfamiliar with it, but it really isn't, they'll show anything, as long as you pay, of course. The rest of the sourcing isn't much better: galleries (not independent), youtube (her own channel), a one-line mention in a blog (artzealous), user-submitted content (createmagazine), the torontoguardian, ("original and thought provoking custom content"), facebook, a designer's blog (inbarbi), instagram. The Canadian Jewish News is better, but offers preciously little: "Artist Orit Fuchs, who lives and works in Tel Aviv, is a storyteller with a deep appetite for creative self-expression." The rest is quotes by Fuchs. cultureowl.com has the most in-depth coverage, but it should be noted that they have Self-Publishing Members and this article doesn't look like editorial content; it's an ad, just like this article.

Delete. I’d already considered nominating this myself for these reasons. Mccapra (talk) 14:31, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep will fix the article and find more sources. אור פ (talk) 17:47, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete For an Israeli/international artist one would expect a lot more independent reliable coverage in the Israeli press than exists presently. All I could find was a mention of her new studio in this celebrity news site and a protest action in an obscure magazine. Note also that there is an Israeli model/actress with the same Hebrew name spelling who has the unambiguous article of that name in he-wiki (although in English it is spelled Orit Fux) and the overwhelming Hebrew language coverage.

here is coverage in hebrew: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] אור פ (talk) 11:07, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1 and 8 do not mention Fuchs at all. 7 is the celebrity site that I mentioned. The rest are passing mentions, some consisting of a name mentioned among a list of other artists, of Fuchs' contributions at shows and galleries. None of these has any significant coverage of the subject, the kind we would need to build a complete biographical article out of. Havradim (talk) 05:18, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't find SIGCOV. The current sourcing is mostly primary, not the independent coverage that would create notability. The article itself is highly promotional. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:18, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing is still really poor. I am really curious about how you got permission via OTRS for 18 of her images, which are all marked ©Orit Fuchs. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:34, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I worked on this article a little more, and the more I did the more I discovered the article sources to be promotional, unreliable or not RS. Stylistically, the article has a lot in common with the type we normally see in cases of professional editing.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 18:34, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The depth of coverage is not there; sources are weak, primary or of the "artists submit your content here!" variety. No indication of museum collections or meeting the criteria for WP:ARTIST. The article is promotional, and the inclusion of the copyrighted images is indeed odd.

Delete and salt with prejudice per WP:MILL, WP:SPAM, WP:TNT, and WP:SIGCOV. Lots of "group shows" indicate that this is not a well-known artist, international she may for a single show outside of Israel and one work of art at one gallery in South Korea. The gallery of her "art" is a shameless ploy for publicity. The coverage stinks, to be blunt. We could have excused this spam in 2008 but in 2020, it's untenable because everybody knows what Wikipedia is and is not. I'll stop there. Bearian (talk) 16:49, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
