Not a notable person. Founding a notable organization is not enough to prove notability. A google search for "Steven Rand" artist yields only 16 results, and most of them are not even about him. JDDJS (talk) 03:35, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per WP:SNOW and WP:CHEAP. Bearian (talk) 19:59, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:41, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and/or Redirect - The gallery this dude founded (i.e. ApexArt) looks barely notable itself. These pages were started by a WP:SPA. NickCT (talk) 15:16, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:ANYBIO due to shortage of reliable sources that cover the subject in any depth. Arguably, WP:BLP1E would apply as well. The article stats would suggest that not a lot of readers are looking for his bio, so a redirect is unnecessary.- Mr X 16:02, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Fails WP:GNG. SilverSurfingSerpent (talk) 16:37, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
