 * Comment The artist is the subject of a book but as it's written by Adolfs' granddaughter it's not independent of the subject per WP:CREATIVE. A review of the book suggests the artist's work was "generic fluff", which doesn't help.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 17:36, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep While Gbooks gives some false hits (even then other artists being compared to him implies notability), there are also some good sources such as the Dictionary of International Biography.   Edward321 (talk) 00:31, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. It is clear from the review and the Google Books searches linked above that this was a notable artist, if not universally appreciated. I have added a quote from the Jakarta Post review to the article to provide a little balance. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:51, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
