self promotion, unreliable sources, artist of absolutely no relevance. See discussion page. (proposed by 95.90.127.86, 18:06, 22 February 2025 (UTC)) --Achim Adotz (talk) 20:17, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete if not speedily, based on lack of notability, failure to meet WP:NARTIST and significant WP:PROMO. No significant exhibitions, and the only evidence of works in a permanent collection is the statement that his delightful paintings have been placed on permanent display in various pizzerias which doesn't qualify as a notable museum or national gallery. This highly promotional COI entry has been heavily edited by the artist and his partner based on the first-person prose, and the user name "Atelier ZoooooZ" (ZoooooZ is the artist's moniker). Statements point to self-promotion such as: As artists, we know only too well that an original, handmade, genuine work of art is a lifelong dream for many people...But that's exactly why we, Mumzy Maria Uberstein and Zoooooz Roland Zulehner, have launched a special campaign. and The artwork is simultaneously used as advertising as part of the campaign and Because even as artists we have to make a living and can't give everything away., etc.. Most of the article consists of unsourced puffery, and an excessive number of images uploaded by the artist, WP:NOTWEBHOST. Appears to also fail WP:GNG, as most of the citations are sourced to Facebook, pay-to-play publications, and user-submitted content. Even if reliable sources could be found, the article would qualify for WP:TNT. Netherzone (talk) 14:54, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It also appears that the artist, who is also the creator of the article, goes by two WP user names: User:Atelier ZoooooZ which is a shared account with his artistic partner (as per a discussion on Commons, and their Commons user page); and also by User:Beweinding who created this article and states on their user page that they are Roland Zulehner. Not sure if that is relevant to this AfD, but wanted to point this out. Netherzone (talk) 19:45, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Fails WP:NARTIST. I am not finding any reliable sourcing for the claims made in the article. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 02:41, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:NARTIST and WP:PROMO. --jergen (talk) 08:33, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I found this article highly entertaining, as it reaches new heights of irrelevance. I laughed, I cried (of laughter), I cried some more (of laughter). Sentences like "The Arslan Kebap Restaurant is a place where cultures merge and form a community." should be kept for eternity, somewhere. Otherwise delete. 95.90.127.86 (talk) 16:37, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support to avoid a speedy close and give the artist time to copy the article if he hasn't done so already. He has put in a great deal of time and design effort to put the page together, just hasn't fully understood how Wikipedia works. It is an encyclopedia, which means no editorializing and must be sourced to reputable sources and not blogs and Facebook links. To Roland, what do you think are the best sources? Have enjoyed the photos of your work. A nice try in writing and illustrating a page, likely just missed the mark of it being an encyclopedic approach to summarizing notable artistic creations.

  • Delete I would like to add that this elaborate biography sounds like a creation of Chat Gtp. Unable to find sources establishing notability. Hermann Heilner Giebenrath (talk) 13:16, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If Wikipedia will have a new article about Roland, pls keep in mind that he is more of an entertainer than a contemporary artist. He once wrote a book (Ich geh eins trinken) about having a drink. Yes, that's all there was, a whole book where Roland describes in great lenghts how one picks a bar, orders a drink. Even how to drink drinks. Best book ever. Also he wrote a book about how to get rich with Facebook. Two months later he wrote a book about why one should delete his or hers Facebook account. All his books were very entertaining, very funny to read. 95.90.183.207 (talk) 20:53, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And all were selfpublished. 95.90.127.86 (talk) 10:18, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
