Fails WP:Artist, with no WP:RS and the exhibitions are the exhibitions listed are open call [1] [2]. Vanispam: repeatedly calls himself the king of marble. The Firenze exhibition has potentially up to 1000 exhibitors, as the A's have 37 names (37*26 + "Young Artists" > 1000). Oh wait, the B's have 76, so it is definitely going to be approaching 1000...!! They are listed by letter of the alphabet, for reference (in terms of the notability of the other exhibitors) here are the people whose names begin with "A":

There are 2 of this sample of 37 with established notability. The name Alder links to the article about the tree... Theredproject (talk) 14:27, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Hmm, if we're looking in terms of WP:ARTIST, nothing suggests he can pass it, but in terms of WP:GNG it's clearly a pass, since I can see quite enough Russian and Ukrainian language sources with articles about him and his art in Ukrainian national press.

Pinging DGG, Vexations, 104.163.158.37 for their independent experienced opinion, as this has been relisted twice. Theredproject (talk) 15:10, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that I have discovered that the Florence Biennale is a pay-to-play exhibition, that charges around $3000-4000 for a one week exhibition. Arte Monaco is a pay-to-play 3-day fair with participation prices ranging from 11,000 to 28,000 EURO.[3]. Pinging Arthistorian1977 on this, in case it impacts your !vote above.
