John Frazee (artist, born 1949)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This artist does not meet WP:GNG nor WP:NARTIST criteria for notability. There are no significant exhibitions, museum collections, or what we would normally find for a notable artist. There is another John Frazee, 19th century artist who is notable, so searching for sources was a bit tricky. All I could find in a BEFORE search on this John Frazee (b.1949) is this review of a show he and his wife had at a pay-to-play rental gallery. The review is SIGCOV, but it's not enough to retain the article unless additional independent coverage in reliable sources can be found. The current sourcing consists of something he wrote for a competition in Omni magazine which I was not able to verify, and a letter to the editor. Bringing it in for the community to weigh in with feedback. Netherzone (talk) 19:05, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete I am unable to find anything about him, and most came across references to the 18th century sculptor by this name. If this is deleted the disambiguation page should be cleaned up - actually, it will no longer be needed. Lamona (talk) 21:08, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete This is an easy call. Doesn’t meet WP:GNG and there is little elsewhere to suggest notability rising to the level of a Wiki article. Go4thProsper (talk) 09:36, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Common name, but I am unable to come up with any reliable coverage for the one born in 1949. This artist does not meet WP:NARTIST. He has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, or won significant critical attention, or been represented within the permanent collections of any notable galleries or museums.

 * Delete per nom. Could find no reliable sources to show notability. Sorely fails WP:GNG and does not come anywhere near meeting WP:NARTIST. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 05:32, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
