A single article from Pepperdine University [1] about Taj as an alumnus qualifies as a source; the rest are press releases, links selling art, or links from the artist's own website. Recent edits from new editors also seems suspicious.OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:32, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I don’t really see any reason why this article should be kept. There doesn’t appear to be any notability about the subject and I agree on the fact that some of the content seems a bit suspicious. ScrabbleTiles (talk) 13:39, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - This artist does not meet notability criteria per WP:GNG, WP:NARTIST nor WP:NBUSINESSPERSON. Seems to be a commercial artist with a social media presence but no secondary, independent sigcov in published reliable sources. The Pepperdine profile of him is not independent since it is promoting one of their alumni - it's a connected source. Netherzone (talk) 19:38, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete since subject fails WP:GNG. The Pepperdine gazette article cited by the nominator as acceptable is not. Any half-decent publication of a half-decent college regularly publishes promotional material about its alumni, and rightly so. But these are not acceptable sources. -The Gnome (talk) 00:51, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
