I couldn't establish that he meets WP:ARTIST or WP:GNG. Pinging those who have looked at his notability before:, ,. This has been tagged for notability for 7 years, so hopefully we can finally get this resolved. Boleyn (talk) 19:59, 10 April 2015 (UTC) Boleyn (talk) 19:59, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete: Highbeam and Questia searches turn up nothing, Google turns up the usual user-submitted art sites such as SaatchiArt. There is also a snippet view indicating that a painting by the subject achieved a 3rd prize in 1981, but neither that nor the Brampton Arts Council Arts Person of the Year award is evidence of meeting the WP:ARTIST criteria or those of broader biographical notability.

 * Delete, alas. I've looked for WP:RS, and I can't find sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the article meets the WP:ARTIST criteria. -- The Anome (talk) 10:10, 11 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment. He is a commercially successful landscape artist with thumbnail bios on all the usual sites, which tend to drown out anything useful. He has won a few awards, nothing major. I found a couple of mentions in books, a news item Mieschke’s landscapes on display from the Brampton Guardian 2013, and a 1985 Arts & Letters Club of Toronto newsletter that mentions a one-man exhibit at the Eaton's Art Gallery, and says "While he has exhibited regularly at Eaton's since 1970, he has also had recent solo shows in Basel and Horgen, Switzerland." Later it gives a few sentences on his style. He is in the Brampton Arts Council directory and Visual Arts Brampton. His landscapes have been reproduced by Hallmark and UNICEF – don't know if that is good or bad. Seems marginal – no urgency to delete. Aymatth2 (talk) 14:13, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
