Well I put a prod on this yesterday but was told that there was one already so this was the next step. Unsourced and possibly not notable. Wgolf (talk) 17:43, 28 September 2014 (UTC) Withdrawn

 * Comment I put a blpprod on this a few days ago, but it was removed by the creator, who then added some references (but not inline). I've put links next to the references, I was able to verify all but the Sunday Telegraph one, and as this list has clearly been taken from the artist's website, I should imagine it exists somewhere. Has coverage, but I wasn't sure it met WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST. Boleyn (talk) 18:00, 28 September 2014 (UTC)


 * KEEP: Along with the list of refs mentioned by Boleyn, I've checked some of the facts and added 4 more refs to the text. I think this artist is clearly notable, and is recognised as such by the National Army Museum and hence by the BBC / PCF "Your Paintings" website, as well as the art galleries named. We seem to be easily over the GNG and BLP threshold here. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:42, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks-I didn't think it needed a AFD but since there were no sources I was unsure TBH. I am now going to Withdraw this.Wgolf (talk) 19:53, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Quite right to check. Glad to be able to help. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:55, 28 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment Although it did have references, they had no links to them and weren't inline. It was also clearly written with the intention of promoting the subject, which influenced me; it's always frustrating when you can see that. Boleyn (talk) 20:02, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, it does make WP feel like a public convenience... as Winston Churchill once remarked of Fitzroy Maclean and the Mother of Parliaments. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:08, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
