Tagged for notability since 2010. Fails the general and artist-specific notability policies. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:51, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable as the earliest known Faroese painter. His paintings are in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of the Faroe Islands, and Norwegian Wikipedia has what looks like a RS in Faroese. Jfire (talk) 19:13, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't see any documentation for him being the earliest Faroese painter. A strange claim, so I removed it. Still he seems to only have 4 or 5 known images, with one of them being used on a 2020 stamp (fact and citation added to the article). Wikidata states "The entities Díðrikur á Skarvanesi and Faroe Islands should be contemporary to be linked through country of citizenship, but the latest end value of Díðrikur á Skarvanesi is 8 October 1865 Gregorian and the earliest start value of Faroe Islands is 1 April 1948." I therefore changed citizenship to Kingdom of Denmark with AKL Online as the reference. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 15:44, 3 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep While there are limited sources about him in English, there are some fairly extensive articles about him in Faroese (e.g. Fuglamyndirnar eftir Díðrik á Skarvanesi) which support notability per WP:GNG. Uffda608 (talk) 14:27, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
