Non-notable artisan. NO coverage at all found, appears to be a working person only with no critical notice. Not at GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 03:26, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep: I'm shocked too, to be honest -- really didn't expect anything but I should've because a lot of these are actually listed in the article (kind of weirdly, but they're there). Newspapers.com pulled a plethora of coverage, including a feature-length article from the Edmonton Journal and other papers from the same ownership company . He was mentioned in a paragraph of "Trip Coach" from an Arthur Frommer magazine, appears in the "Bring the Troops Home Now" newsletter on p. 15 as the catalyst for a student protest in a high school that also garnered some press attention where he was featured in it (biesanz", , ), appears in the NYT in a feature about Costa Rican wood in a positive review in two separate paragraphs analyzing his work . Needs cleanup, but WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP and the article does seem to have at least a bit of a good (if un-referenced) base, so I'm not at WP:TNT. Nomader  ( talk ) 04:05, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll include references to the newspaper articles today; I think I have a dozen or so articles. Most of the newspaper articles are pre internet tho, except for the two New York Times articles. I'll also add categories today. You are right, he was interviewed for the anti vietnam war protest in Time or Newsweek and Playboy, another reference to add today.

 * For what it's worth, normally when I go to clip Newspapers.com stories, I do it myself -- most of these, it looks like you found them already (I'm assuming they're yours). If so, really good work pulling all of these together. Nomader  ( talk ) 15:19, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Still looking for citations for the other articles and exhibitions. Cortez amarilla (talk) 22:56, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep Citations will be added today - there's quite a bit of news coverage. Cortez amarilla (talk) 13:14, 31 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep: I checked the Edmonton Journal article and the nyt article. Both of these are easily sigcov. — hako9 (talk) 02:29, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
