Procedural nomination. This had been nominated for speedy deletion.

 * Keep For an artist born in 1935 to get 62 Google Hits suggests sufficient notability to meet WP:BIO. Among them:
 * His art is still being sold.
 * he has an entry on The Canadian Encyclopedia.
 * "His work has achieved national prominence and has toured internationally," according to The Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan .
 * The first three links are valid, but the last link is more than a bit suspect, and has been connected to two deleted articles. I wouldn't give it too much credibility. The list of "Canada's greatest artists" includes the owner of that website!  freshacconci  speak to me  21:54, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep As per Dlohcierekim. --Crusio (talk) 00:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep For the moment. In addition to Dlohcierekim's observations, the artist is amply represented in the National Gallery of Canada, which suggests notability. However, the article needs solid references to remain, and currently has none, so much of it thus far reads like original research. Perhaps the Canadian Encyclopedia will provide proper citations. It will profit from a re-writing--too frequent use of 'frequent'. JNW (talk) 03:38, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per JNW. Article needs plenty of work. Johnbod (talk) 05:45, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep the artist has an entry in the Canadian encyclopedia, and his work in the the NG of Canada. Either of them is absolutely sufficient for notability. the presence of works in the permanent collection of major museums is a fully sufficient criterion for notability of an artist by itself (however, it was not present in the article when it was speedied).
