 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable per WP:Notability. No significant sources published about his work. Very clearly has not made a significant contribution to field of painting or art. Existing sources are self-published, or very minimal new references. Works in museum collections are in tiny municipal museums. Just not notable.

 * Two more things: 1. previous AfD suggestion and Speedy delete attempt in edit history 2. Article also appears to have been initiated and heavily edited by Article's subject. "Little Hollywood Media" search points back to article subject. New Media Theorist (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:42, 27 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete – Without any WP:RS does not appear to meet notability guidelines as an artist of any kind.-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(ring-ring)  02:31, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - No reliable secondary sources found that could establish notability per Wikipedia guidelines. ABF99 (talk) 05:19, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment The Springfield Museum coverage is third-party and fairly in-depth and I'd guess a reliable source. But there's nothing else evident that meets the criteria that I can see, so I'm inclined to delete. Full disclosure: I was the admin who declined the speedy. There was far too much in the way of notability claims for a speedy, but an AfD was very much justified IMHO. --Dweller (talk) 09:53, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
