Fred Martins is my friend. And I wasn't paid to get him feature on Wikipedia. No! Not at all. I understand WP:PAID policy. But you see, the article doesn't fall into that category. It doesn't! Abiodun Ayobami (talk) 19:25, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Abiodun Ayobami: thank you for your honesty, I will remove the strong COI tag. But will include a notability tag, I have gone through sources online, while there are some coverage concerning his artistic works, especially AfroComb. I'm not convinced he meets WP:ARTIST. I might be wrong, but will need a neutral editor to assess the notability status of the article. HandsomeBoy (talk) 00:05, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@HandsomeBoy: What about this,4). The person's work (or works) has,(a) become a significant monument,(b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition,(c) won significant critical attention, or(d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. Anyway, you are at liberty to do what is best to the article. Other editors are also welcome to do justice to it. Abiodun Ayobami (talk) 20:14, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is really borderline: the coverage cited barely rises above trivial, but the spread of sources, including several big news outlets suggests that there may be enough additional coverage out there somewhere to meet GNG. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 07:23, 5 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
