Insufficient notability for this project, fails WP:ARTIST. The award of officer of the order of the crown is one that appears to be routinely given to professional staff in government departments - a doctor, a translator. A 27-page booklet apparently about him was published in an edition of 400 copies in 1952. Apart from those, I've not been able to find anything resembling a reliable source that even mentions him, let alone confirms his notability. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 00:27, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - I can't find any sources in google books or elsewhere (inc. the French version) which shows that WP:ARTIST is met. SmartSE (talk) 20:09, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment. Although the Order of the Crown is awarded to military officers and civil servants automatically for length of service, awards to non-government-servants are discretionary. In this latter respect, Officer of the Order of the Crown seems to be pretty much equivalent to an OBE in the British Honours System. While an OBE would not qualify a recipient for automatic inclusion (that would require a CBE, the next grade up), it would be very likely that a British artist who had received an OBE would have an article on Wikipedia. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:54, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
