Seems to fail WP:BIO. I can find this and this, but how reliable or important these sources are is unclear (bliskopolski seems to be a "patriotic poland" attempt at an encyclopedia, but without any indication of expertise, fact-checking, ...; artinfo is a commercial database with bios of more than 20,000 artists, which can be provided by anyone by email). He is not, as far as I can tell, included in any books on art, doesn't feature at major auctions, there is no news about him. There don't seem to be any mentions of him before the Wikipedia articles were created, which raises some red flags about whether he truly existed even. In any case, the artist doesn't seem to be notable enough to be included here. Fram (talk) 10:02, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. Doesn't pass WP:SOLDIER for his WWII service. Seems to have been created (un-sourced) around the time of his death by a SPA (which per the permissions on the file uploads in commons seems possibly connected to the subject). I don't see the WP:SIGCOV here to meet GNG (or NARTIST). Icewhiz (talk) 12:58, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
