 * Keep - He seems to meet both GNG and NARTIST, altho the article can be updated and cleaned up. I found two notable museum collections North Carolina Museum of Art, and Studio Museum in Harlem ; an in-depth review in Art in America , and another on ArtThrob , an in-depth review in OneSmallSeed (a South African quarterly art magazine): , an in-depth review in ArtAfrica magazine , another review in the Mail & Guardian (South Africa) here: , and a mention in the NYTimes . I'm pretty sure additional material to support notability can be found, but I think the above puts him over the bar. Netherzone (talk) 16:36, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep I've cleared out some puffery and uncited material (including some dead external links). I added link out to exhibition catalogue which has great examples of his work. It could still use some work, but notability is established with North Carolina Museum of Art and Studio Museum in Harlem. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:51, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per above comments and finds. This is an example of PROD being overused, editors should only prod the very obvious pages - ones a child would prod - and not articles which have a chance at AfD. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:14, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
 * @Randy Kryn, please consider joining WP:PRODPATROL. This is an understaffed project doing critical work such as demonstrated here. ~Kvng (talk) 17:02, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Okoslavia (talk) 14:57, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
