Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Achraf Amiri
I'm going to consider this a bit more carefully. The guy is incredibly talented and does seem to be drawing attention. Is it ? Perhaps. But he has contributed to a large number of significant publications. He has been interviewed for the http://swellcityguide.com/2012/09/achraf-amiri/ Swell City Guide in 2012, and http://www.1883magazine.com/arts/arts/achraf-amiri for 1883magazine - both independent publications answering to editorial control. There's an "article on his art" in the http://auxiliarymagazine.com/tag/achraf-amiri/ April-May 2011 edition of Auxillary magazine - I took a look at the PDF file and it's quite substantial, covering four pages. He's also worked with a number of high profile people - yes, not enough in itself to make him notable, but it is enough to have brought about at least three decent interviews and articles specifically about him, in addition to the attention of a great many non-notable sources. I also dug a bit deeper and found a six-page spread from page 66 of issue 54 of http://notionmag.com/issue-archive/view/notion-054 Notion Magazine - he's not just provided illustrations, he's collaborated with an editorial team and stylists to interlace the illustrations with photographs, and they chose to use the accompanying text to cover his work, who he is, and what he does. The (tough to navigate) digital copy of said magazine is http://theenvironment.vfolio.co.uk/notion/75/ here - I winced when I saw the text itself as it's not well edited, but it still seems a well-established publication - and not every illustrator gets editorial commentary on them or whole spreads dedicated to their work. I suspect there's quite a lot more coverage out there, too
