No RS to establish N for this PROMO bio. The book is self published by "Coleman Studios" and only held in 8 libraries https://www.worldcat.org/title/life-works-of-james-coleman/oclc/35095591&referer=brief_results All that is left are PRIMARY and PROMO sources.

 * Delete I do not find it as promotional but it is not notable. Laptopinmyhands (talk) 14:18, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete The article sourcing is way too promotional.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:33, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak delete I found one independent source: "AUTHOR: 	JENNIFER DULIN WILEY TITLE: 	Imagination Reigns Supreme SOURCE: 	Art Business News 35 no4 28, 30 Ap 2008". I also found a link to an article announcing an exhibit in Hawaii (related to that article). There are at least 3 online galleries that sell his work, but I have no idea if they are considered "significant" or just commercial. A significant article about his work at Disney would push this to a keep IMO. Lamona (talk) 20:07, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
