This WP:BLP was moved into the incubator in late 2011. It sat there untouched throughout 2012. There were a few relatively minor edits earlier this year, the most substantive of which was the addition of one new external link. It has not been edited at all in the last seven months, so incubation did not appear to be paying off, and I don't believe the few edits it has gotten during this very long "incubation" have rectified the issues identified at the previous AFD.

 * Delete I can't find substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. Candleabracadabra (talk) 23:25, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I am changing my vote to Keep. He's covered extensively here. And he continues to be quite active with gallery shows. I think it's enough. Candleabracadabra (talk) 20:43, 23 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete -- He may have gained minor prominence through his period as a war artist, with a subsequent exhibition, but I am doubtful whether this amounts to WP notability. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:21, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CREATIVE #4, significant exhibitions and permanent collections. No smoking gun here but in total with all the exhibitions and awards adds up to something beyond norm. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 18:16, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete for the same reasons as Peterkingiron - artist who has participated in some international group exhibtions and won a few non-notable gallery awards. I can't find any significant coverage about him or any of his work, other than the "A" volume of the vast 'Artists in Britain Since 1945'. Sionk (talk) 20:31, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
