Although there are claims in importance (museum shows, etc.), none are referenced and google searches for this artists name + name of each museum only come up with linked in entries at best. Zero gnews hits, zero gbook hits, ghits aren't showing notability in first half dozen pages. Previous prod contested without comment, speedy tags have been removed without comment (although museum show claims would make this ineligible for A7).

UndecidedWeak Delete Feric got 105000 ghits of which Feric Feng is the first entry. Haven't got confirmation of page claims yet but if he has been showed where the article claims he has he would be a notable artist. Article smells of CoI. Simonm223 (talk) 16:46, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm unclear on how you're doing your search. Using no quotes (which pulls up anything with Feric or Feng), I only get 8400; with quotes (to pull up only hits that have both words, adjacent, I get 353[1] as the number on the first screen, only 82 of which are unique[2] (you need to navigate to the last screen of hits, a well-known bug of google). --Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:53, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- That is possible. Do any of those hits appear to be second party coverage on any of the reputed shows and features? Simonm223 (talk) 17:01, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Following your advice got 84 ghits. Still looking for anything that isn't facebook or linkedinSimonm223 (talk) 17:06, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Removing things like his website, facebook, and their mirrors, we get this which shows he entered, but did not win an award at, an unidentified show of the Society of Illustrators; a site or two selling his )apparently self-published) book, a blog that links to his site but does not mention him[3], and several deadlinks to other shopping sites.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:14, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
