Does not meet WP:GNG, coverage is largely limited to database entries. Big Island Video News appears to have the only coverage that is independent and more than a brief mention, but even that article is rather fleeting in depth. Source #5's coverage would be excellent, except that it's not independent, as it primarily discusses works featured on the resort's own property. Searching online, there appears to be a potentially-notable poet by this name, but I'm not finding relevant search results about the sculptor who is the subject of this article.signed,Rosguill talk 20:36, 15 February 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete This person does not meet notability for an artist. In addition, some statements in the article are not found in the sources (e.g. "Over time, the personal collection grew, and have more than 25 monumental sculptures made from various materials, including stainless steel, aluminium, bronze, and concrete" is not stated in the two sources - in fact, he is only name-checked in them). If the article were reduced to what is in the sources it would consist of only a few sentences. Lamona (talk) 05:51, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
