I can't find SIGCOV to establish notability. The only serious mentions seem to be copyright entries in GBooks, and the single source in the article. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:24, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete There is a dearth of sources per Joe L. Rosson, the antiques columnist for the Knoxville News-Sentinel, and they're not exactly reliable. I can't quite believe that we can't find any, bu I've had no luck. Pity. Vexations (talk) 18:39, 30 September 2018 (UTC) There is a source in the Estonian article that I overlooked that might be useful; the April 1961 isssue of Kunst. http://www.digar.ee/arhiiv/ru/download/187474 I rely on Google translate to read it, but it is quite extensive, and provides a critical assessment of Albo's early work. The source is not sure about his date of death. It gives (1893—1945?). Switching to Keep, even though I don't find the keep arguments in the previous discussion very convincing. --Vexations (talk) 20:47, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Satisfies GNG. (Hint: It would have been a good idea to have checked the Estonian Wikipedia and the previous AfD). James500 (talk) 05:05, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The keep arguments in the last AfD were lousy. But yes, in future I will check the Estonian Wikipedia for any future AfD nominations. And for the keep voters, since you are voting keep on an article with one source, perhaps you could add some sources? This is an article that literally says that the subject's name is not known: "It is uncertain what his real name was, but he would often sign paintings as "Rod Palmer" or "A. Curtis" in addition to simply "Albo"." ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:23, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
