 * 1) Delete, based on only 1 source and has many claims. "Articles on living persons" without enough references "must be deleted immediately".--WOLfan112 (talk) 19:17, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment You don't get to != vote again for deletion. Your nomination counts as your vote. Edison (talk) 20:18, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Satisfies WP:ARTIST. The refs, footnotes and external links indicate that he has had exhibits at major galleries, including a permanent exhibit, is a member of the Royal Academy, has received honors including Order of the British Empire. An alternative to AFD nomination would be tagging an article about a clearly notable artist for reference improvement. Edison (talk) 20:24, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep geez, where to even start? One of the most important UK pop artists, designed the Sgt Pepper cover, OBE, subject of several books, etc. Passes WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST easily. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  20:39, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep One of the most notable living artists in the UK. Even the quickest glance down the range of sources in the External Links should have been enough to give pause for thought before nominating. And a reading of WP:BEFORE? AllyD (talk) 21:12, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. The nominator, as a relatively new editor, would do well to reread WP:BEFORE, in order to ensure that they fully understand the steps to undertake before nominating an article for deletion. Peter Blake is a very prominent artist on both the national and international stage - he has received multiple awards and accolades, and has been the subject of a vast amount of significant coverage in reliable sources, as is required by our notability guidelines. The way to deal with concerns over referencing is to add references, not to nominate for deletion. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 21:50, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and WP:SNOW. If Peter Blake is non-notable then about 90% of Wikipedia will have to be deleted. Keresaspa (talk) 00:26, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Snow Keep Very famous artist, subject of monographs, frequent press coverage, works in major galleries. etc etc etc --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:45, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
