Fank Edward Burnham Hughes (artist)

Delete as failed at WP:BIO and also WP:NOTE. A Google search returned absolutely nothing. Some off-line citations are mentioned in the article, but those citations are not enough to establish the fact that he is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. --   Niaz  (Talk •  Contribs)  19:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, Surely it's FRANK not Fank! Whole article seems lifted from here http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:VULo2D7wtX0J:www.spook-software.com/hosted/wag/cat1.doc+%22Frank+Edward+Burnham+Hughes%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=uk, but maybe someone can find some more sources> i didnt have much luck either Vultureofbook (talk) 21:12, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep article requires clean-up and a move to the correct title, not deletion. There are references embedded within ref tags that may not be immediately evident. Catchpole (talk) 21:26, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak, weak keep as there is some notability here but very few sources that I can find under any combination of his names (e.g. Frank E.B. Hughes). --Dhartung | Talk 05:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:BIO; notability for creative professionals. It doesn't look as if his work has ever "been a substantial part of a significant exhibition" nor does it appear as if he is "represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries".  If he does meet either of those criteria, I'd gladly change to keep.BWH76 (talk) 15:47, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Also exhibited 'Portrait by Lamplight' at the New English Art Club, unsure of year, but will find reference. Also illustrated published book covers. NEAC and the RA are arguably the most significant exhibition galleries in the UK.
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Visual arts-related deletions. – Lquilter (talk) 23:16, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Very Weak Keep Very new article. Not much so far, and estimates of £25-50 for small oils in the auction this week are not promising! (added - but see below)Johnbod (talk) 23:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. He's in the Dictionary of Artists in Britain since 1945 and I've added material and refs from that. Certainly not a major figure, but he seems to have achieved some repute. He's not just someone's favourite uncle whom the family want to commemorate. Article moved to Frank Hughes (artist) per naming conventions. Tyrenius (talk) 00:15, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - seems viable, per above. (The name change helps), - Modernist (talk) 00:18, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Johnbod, those sale estimates were smashed, most selling for around £300-£500. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.200.233.131 (talk) 01:20, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
