Non notable artist. Fails NARTIST, due to lack of independent reliable sources with significant coverage of the subject. He is included in one regional art museum collection, not two. Most coverage is trivial, see. Theredproject (talk) 15:38, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete The painting that is in the collection of the Springville Museum of Art, Sampson Before the Apophysis of the Philistines is a donation from "Anthony's Fine Art and Antiques", who appear to "represent" the artist, although it is not cleqr to me that he has a gallery in the traditional sense. Most of his sales seem to be (inkjet) prints that he sells through his website. Their biography claims that "his award winning paintings have appeared in various publications and museums". Brickleys website makes the exact same claim. I have not been able to find any evidence that this amounts to something that satisfies WP:NARTIST. The award mentioned in the article, Visitors' Choice Award in the 2009 International Art Competition of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not notable. The Herald Extra, here:   makes brief mention of Brickey winning first-place at the Freedom Festival Fine Art Exhibit at the Covey Center for the Arts in Provo. That too, is not "a well-known and significant award", per WP:ANYBIO. The databases I have consulted show no secondary market for his work; I see no significant exhibitions in public galleries or museums, nor a monograph. Vexations (talk) 16:48, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - As stated above, the artist's work simply isn't notable. I'm not sure what to say beyond that. We don't have the reliable source coverage that we need, and so deletion is totally the right call. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 18:11, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
