 * Comment I removed the "Africa" delsort as an apparent misunderstanding of "African-American". I have added Sweden, and suggest that any WP:BEFORE include searches for Swedish sources, as Cropper moved there a long time ago according to multiple sources found in Google Books search.

 * Also, this article seems like someone getting an early start on Meetup/DC/SAAM African American Artists Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, and if that's the case then draftifying would be a sensible response. Bakazaka (talk) 05:21, 14 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment I see many passing mentions in Google books, which makes me think that there is probably newspaper coverage that predates the Internet. Certainly not a clear-cut notability case. See the longish obit in Swedish that I just added.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 15:22, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I just noticed this was also AFD'd the same day it was created. A bit fast.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:29, 15 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep. Sources establish notability.   Gamaliel  ( talk ) 17:33, 17 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep Nine citations, including 2 Oxford University Press, Arts Digest, and Scarecrow Press. Would you please give editors a reasonable chance to copyedit and add cites before instantly nominating for deletion? We are training at an editathon, and instant deletion nominations are not encouraging to new volunteers. Thanks. Broomstraw2 (talk) 17:39, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
