Autobiography, only one source cited, a lot of unverified information. Notability might be in question as well. The Determinator p t c 12:51, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep a notable artist, meets our notability criteria, see the reviews listed here. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 14:44, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete. Non-notable person. Seems that page created for send promotion. Do not fill the criteria of notability as per Wikipedia guidelinesJussychoulex (talk) 15:09, 22 February 2013 (UTC).[reply]

Strong Keep - This subject clearly passes WP:BASIC. Concerns about promotional tone can be addressed by simple copy editing. Source examples that consist of significant coverage from reliable sources include:

Painting his love Indian Express
Tales of transition DNA
Mandal's country canvas in town for art lovers Times of India
Mumbai's monsoon made artsy. CNN.

— It seems that the delete !voters here may not have searched for available sources to qualify deletion per Wikipedia's WP:BIO gudelines. See also: WP:NRVE, "The absence of citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that the subject is not notable."

Keep, meets notability criteria per sources available. —Theopolisme (talk) 22:16, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Although I did nominate this article for the AfD, I think with the references that has been added and as long as neutrality is maintained this article can be kept. The Determinator p t c 22:42, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as with independent sources the artist is clearly notable. Perhaps another message should be left reminding the author on WP:NPOV iComputerSaysNo 13:11, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
