I picked this up semi-randomly with the thought it might be a mandidate for mainspace. There have been copyvio issues: I've checked Earwig indicates resolved. The article creator may not be in good standing. There's a failure to avoid SPS sources and have RS (or at least fully independent) sources on the citations of key points. The citations aren't fully embellished. The Art world can have commercial interest. There still remains a question NAUTHOR may be satisfied due to war zone photography and arguably due to unique artwork style on a personal level I'm concerned the former may be an exploitation, possible commerical exploitation, but its too hard to judge. I'm possibly going to go to short form referencing so I can see what the situation is with sources, Equally I observe the AFC reviews comment/signature may be a tad distasteful and would be respected more if less sensationalist and leads one to question neutrality though ultimately there was little wrong with the analysis of the state of the article at that time. If I attempt to progress the article it probably ought to be a DRV job but mainspace & XfD would likely be less strenuous on admin time; that's if it gets that far.Djm-leighpark (talk) 00:05, 5 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
I *lot* of work later and NARTIST is passed by the Afganistan photography by the award forlost boys and recognition by the Sunday Times to send him on commission back out there. His sculting of AK47's probably scrapes NARTIST on its own as well. Because of ARTIST a THREE isn't needed but Shah for Vogue (2017), Collett-White for Reuters (2012) and maybe Malby for GQ look good. Djm-leighpark (talk) 11:50, 6 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
