I can't see significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject for this artist. Hirst and Banksy have verifiably shown interest in his artwork, but this in itself does not confer notability.

The article has references; however,

Ref 1 is a passing mention in The Daily Telegraph;
Ref 2 is an en.wikipdia article;
Ref 3 is a passing mention in The New Statesman
Ref 4 is a self-published primary source;
Ref 5 is an en.wikipdia article;
Ref 6 is a Facebook profile;
Ref 7 is a self-published primary source;
Ref 8 is a passing mention in The Guardian;
Ref 9 is a directory listing;
Ref 10 is a mention in another artist's personal website;
Ref 11 is a mention in another artist's personal website.

I admit I am a Street art and Stuckist fan. Please prove me wrong here. --Shirt58 (talk) 13:01, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Keep The New Statesman and Telegraph articles have more than a passing mention, and the SF Chronicle one given by Phil is entirely about him. DGG ( talk ) 00:04, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Keep. I didn't give an opinion above about the disposition of this article because I took the nominator's analysis at face value. I now see that the Daily Telegraph source is far from a passing mention, so along with the San Francisco Chronicle source that I linked above we have enough for notability.
