Notability
I have tagged the article for BLP-unreferenced, connected-contributor, and probable lack of notability. I had a quick look for sources and didn't find any. The two evaluations mentioned in the first paragraph, (with their sources but no precise citation) I have failed to find on the respective websites. I'll leave it a couple of days - I suggested the artist post sources if he has some - but then I'll nominate for deletion. ColinFine (talk) 17:13, 26 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Scriabin1/Mr. Whitney posted some further details on his talk page - perhaps they'll help. I'll copy them here.
 * Fine Arts Connoisseur.com Nov/Dec. 2007. "Todays Masters" Heading "The Human Touch" by Kelly Compton. 4th paragraph. p. 56

 * The article once contained a claim that He has been called "a living master of the classical tradition" by Sotheby's. Praise from an auction house won't help much toward demonstrating notability, but it might still be worthy of inclusion if it could be sourced. 57.140.16.31 (talk) 19:59, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
