| Submission declined on 23 May 2016 by 78.26 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Good use of inline citation, thank you, but you need more than local press coverage to indicate general notability. Has anyone outside of Houston taken notice of this artist? 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 03:54, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
Phillip Pyle, II is a visual artist, graphic designer, and photographer based in Houston, Texas. His primary interests are race, humor, advertising, sports and popular culture. His art has been written about in the Houston Chronicle and the Houston Press.[1][2]
Career
In 2013, Phillip Pyle II and Robert Hodge created "Beauty Box," a social sculpture.[3] [4] "Using furniture from thrift stores and a couple of nicer wooden pieces, they recreated a living room more or less in the image of their own grandparents' homes."[5] Phillip Pyle II "wanted people to consider their own lives, their own history, their own grandmother's keen decorating sense as worthy of being declared art." In 2014, they created an exhibition titled "The Black Guys" at the Art League, an homage to the Art Guys.[6] In 2015, Phillip Pyle II's exhibition, "Black Panther Party Power" appeared at Fresh Arts, where he cast prominent members of the Black Panther Party as superheroes.[7] [8] [9]
