Michael Grubb (artist)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No real sign of notability, and more than a faint whiff of self-promotion. At first sight it seems an impressive list of references, but they're all either primary or so close to it as to make no difference. The list of "famous relatives" is strange - andd there's no indication that any of them are relatives (and even if they were, notability is not inherited). As an artist, Grubb seems to fail my "self-notability test" (i.e., he seems to be less notable than I am, and I proposed that the article on me be deleted!) Grutness...wha?  07:45, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete No independently-established notability in the article or found. References in the article don't help, including at least one WP mirror. The Yahoo Answers stuff is particularly unconvincing. AllyD (talk) 10:45, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I happen to know Michael, I really am related! While he is certainly talented, he is not quite famous just yet. And many of the list of relatives are not related, just named Grubb. Be gentle, he is a fine young man who is just over-enthusiastic about his place in the world.LynnSGrubb (talk) 03:25, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
