 * Keep He features on the Getty Union List via the Thieme-Becker, Allgemeines Lexikon der Kunstler (1980-1986), which normally indicates notability; in fact some older notable artists don't. His works can still sell for over $2,000 US 50 years after his death, which does as well. Clearly sourced from this blog & needs some rewriting to avoid copyvio. I've done this & added the source, though it is not RS but probably accurate enough. If someone checked out the Thieme-Becke bio & referenced that we should be ok.

 * Keep: there's no need to have online sources for this old subject, and there are signs that offline sources exist. There's also an Otto Ackermann that was an art dealer, it's likely that they're the same person; this should be investigated.Diego (talk) 06:57, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
