It seems this artist haven't reached notability yet. His main claims of notability are having won two medals from the "Royal Drawing Society" (is this notable? I don't know) and having some of his word held by some universities and museums, but everything goes without a source. Damiens .rf 15:01, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. Schlee's work has been widely exhibited and is held in collections of museums and universities. See WP:ARTIST section 4(d). I believe Schlee meets the criteria. — Jonathan Bowen (talk) 21:10, 13 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep The Google news search only mentions his works were in a museum, that notable enough. Google book search, second page, reveals he was featured in "Artists in Britain since 1945, Volume 2‎".  So some consider him a notable artist.   D r e a m Focus  00:37, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per all of the above. Werner Heisenberg (talk) 01:44, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per all of above. Schlee is indeed in The Dictionary of Artists in Britain Since 1945, which is a reputable source (not a "vanity" publication). Wikipedia follows sources.  Ty  01:50, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sure there are many artist there. --Damiens .rf 13:59, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems notable and encyclopedic...Modernist (talk) 20:34, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep The nomination seems uncertain ("I don't know") and there has been no attempt to discuss the matter at the article's talk page per WP:BEFORE. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:14, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. I believe that WP:BEFORE was not followed correctly in this case. In particular, under section 3, it would have been appropriate to add a  tag before proposing deletion for this article. I would request that the original proposer follows WP:BEFORE before nominating any further AfDs in future. — Jonathan Bowen (talk) 12:17, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
