 * Delete. A search for both "John G. Gensen" and "John Jensen" failed to find any reliable sources for this person. Also seems to fail WP:NOTABILITY. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:42, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment/Neutral The university webpage linked from the article serves to confirm his existence and his profession. An article in the Macon Telegraph confirms that he was commissioned by the town of Richmond Hill to build a statue of Henry Ford. Here's a profile in a local newspaper of his work . If this were all I could find, I would not say that WP:CREATIVE is met. But this is what I could find in 10-15 minutes of online searching. I suspect a more interested researcher might find more, leaving this article marginal as far as notability goes. That said, this is no slam dunk.  Ray  Talk 05:23, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Zero cites in GS. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:42, 12 September 2010 (UTC).
 * Umm, did you check the article before commenting? This is a sculptor, with a professorship in the practice of art. As the department web page says, he teaches ceramics and ceramic sculpture. --Hegvald (talk) 01:15, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. My own searches found the same two local newspaper stories as Ray already listed, but it's not enough to convince me of a pass of WP:CREATIVE. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:24, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
