 * Delete absolutely no indepdent sources at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:14, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * With minimal effort, I found two independent sources: https://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/visual-arts/article691800.html and https://www4.toledoblade.com/Art/2017/11/17/BGSU-professors-inspire-in-and-out-of-the-classroom.html Vexations (talk)
 * Keep. More coverage: . Some additional non-independent coverage that doesn't really help for notability but provides depth:  . And he's in at least two museum permanent collections:  . —David Eppstein (talk) 06:21, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - Meets notability criteria for WP:ARTIST. The article needs considerable development but that is not a reason to delete. There is also coverage of his work in journals and books. Netherzone (talk) 14:41, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep, The coverage and biography should be added to the article but passes WP:GNG. Alex-h (talk) 07:10, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment This AfD seems to be headed for keep. It would demonstrate good faith on behalf of the nominator and the supporter of deletion if they expanded the article with the provided sources. Vexations (talk) 11:11, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep, meets WP:NARTIST, in addition to above, his work is also in collection of Canton Museum of Art - see here. Coolabahapple (talk) 14:36, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep There is some independent coverage of the artist (though not a lot), and his work is in the permanent collection of a number of galleries and museums (most appear to be minor, but a couple could be considered notable), therefore he just about satisfies WP:ARTIST. Hzh (talk) 22:26, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep I think we have found sufficient evidence that the subject meets the notability requirement outlined in WP:ARTIST, specifically 4(d) Vexations (talk) 23:46, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: I find the arguments in favor of keep very compelling. Indeed we are nearing consenus. - Ret.Prof (talk) 15:07, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
