| Submission declined on 11 December 2023 by Dan arndt (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission seems to be a test edit and not an article worthy of an encyclopedia. Please use the sandbox for any editing tests, but do not submit for review until you have an article that you want reviewed for inclusion in Wikipedia. Thank you.

Explaining his 3 Major Projects: --- One of my favorite collaborations in Rafa's work has to be the Corpo RanfLA: Terra Cruiser in which he makes an art piece including his own body. He transforms himself to be part of a lowrider. His love for lowriders and his experience in interactions growing up contributed to his art pieces. The major location for this project was in Los Angeles, specifically in Elysian Park. A nice exhibition using his own body to be painted on and tell a story with pieces of his childhood.[1]
