Non-notable academic and former gallery owner. Fails WP:PROF (essentially no mentions in Google Scholar) and WP:CREATIVE. Coverage in independent sources (all from the early 1990s, and none immediately verifiable) appears limited to the gallery and its exhibits, not in-depth biographical information about the subject himself.

 * Weak delete It's possible he has genuine press coverage, but a lot of the citations look irrelevant, very weak, or to self-published sources. Some references appear almost intentionally deceptive. I think we have to require a further demonstration of notability. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:22, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
