Marshall Ellison Smith Sr.

The article claims this artist is a very notable person who won a lot of awards for his work and did a lot of impressive things. The problem is, there are no sources I can find to verify any of it, no hits on GBooks or GNews and a single Newspapers.com hit for a wedding announcement (without the middle name there is a hit about an exhibition somewhere but no more). Fails WP:ARTIST, WP:BIO and WP:GNG. Regards So  Why  08:20, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete nothing found in RS. The article looked like a scrapbook; I removed some of the atrociously placed images.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:56, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete – besides the above, the article is a vanity page. – S. Rich (talk) 03:05, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
