No WP:RS. References are either from the DC Moore Gallery, or submitted by them. Plus one website with his autobiography. A number of dead links. IF this person exists (!), not sure he is any more notable than 90% of the painters that try to make their living by painting. No scholarly reviews cited. At all. Much of his biography is either undocumented or at schools that no longer exist or are non-notable. "Scholarships" untraceable. Student7 (talk) 21:16, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. No WP:RS to establish notability per the usual policies for artists. Qworty (talk) 21:31, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Here's significant coverage in the Boston Globe and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  22:34, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Widely exhibited for years; works are in numerous public collections including the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Here is additional coverage by New Hampshire Public Radio and the U.S. State Department. Ewulp (talk) 02:29, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. There are quite a few more good sources for him and his work in highbeam. A clear pass of WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. And this story mentions works in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art as well as the ones Ewulp mentions, so he also passes WP:CREATIVE#5. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:16, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
