Deletion of Corey Smith (artist)

Comment: The quite numerous interviews in my opinion show that he is "regarded as an important figure" in the skateboarding/art scene, thus fulfilling

Comment: I Google news archive search for his name and the word "gallery" to see if they mentioned his art and got 90 results, some of which were about him.  He is interviewed about one exhibit at Transworld Snowboarding http://snowboarding.transworld.net/1000021309/uncategorized/rake-gallery-premiere-portland-or/ which has other articles about him as well.  Mention of him at http://www.sport2.de/snowboard/ansicht/date/2011/12/12/artikel/corey-smith-praesentiert-sich-beim-art-on-snow.html with the translation found http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sport2.de%2Fsnowboard%2Fansicht%2Fdate%2F2011%2F12%2F12%2Fartikel%2Fcorey-smith-praesentiert-sich-beim-art-on-snow.html.  It says he was once a professional snowboarder, so that's something.  Mentions his art.  So he was a professional in his sport, so passes  and some of the museums he has been featured at are surely notable so he passes

Comment: This does not satisfy  nor . The sources provided are either blogs, press releases or images of flyers. There are a couple of online publications that may go beyond that but they do not provide anything beyond the trivial. Basically there's one interview that can be used to establish notability and it just doesn't do it at this time. This is a young artist and this may change in the future and the article can be rewritten then when more substantial sources are available

Comment: a confusing article, its main claim is that Smith is a notable artist (hence the long list of exhibitions) but there are no |independent, reliable sources to support it. If independent and reliable sources are added I'll happily change my 'vote'. Unfortunately Smith has a common surname so its not easy to identify good sources online. Note that the galleries are not independent because they have a vested interest in promoting Smith and his exhibitions
