Does not meet general notability guidelines.  Miniapolis  ( talk ) 17:29, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep A Google Books search shows that several books give significant coverage to this notable jeweller who died in 1965, and whose work is discussed and still collected today.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  19:06, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The article is tagged as having no sources, so it sounds like you can provide some.  Miniapolis  ( talk ) 00:03, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * As could you. Google Books has plenty of sources readily available, which shows that this person does meet the GNG.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  00:40, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry—I'm up to my neck in cleanup work as it is and have no dog in this fight; the burden of proof to provide reliable sources rests with the editor(s) who want the article kept. I'm no deletionist, but this is one of so many articles which languish for years without needed improvement once they're created; apparently, they're forgotten.

 * Keep clearly a notable jeweller. I've added some missing citations. @Miniapolis: AfD should discuss potential of a topic, it is not an 'article cleanup service'. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 15:49, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
