Just one of the hundreds of thousands of minor painters with a work or two hanging in a few museums. Utterly non-notable. Qworty (talk) 10:03, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete The National Gallery and the Eiteljorg aren't minor museums, but that's not enough. Nyttend (talk) 20:34, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Works in museum collections and a couple of reviews in the art press satisfy WP:BIO.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 21:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - added ref to profile on NPR and Smithsonian-sponsored exhibit, has 32 Google book hits . Novickas (talk) 13:25, 27 April 2008 (UTC) Added several other refs, including the exhibition of his carving in the gardens at the White House and a pic thereof. Novickas (talk) 21:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets notability. Portland Museum is also a pretty good credit, he's in the Getty Union List of Artist Names, has been written about more than a few times. Ewulp (talk) 02:29, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Novickas has demonstrated clear notability. Is it really too much to expect people to do a Google Books search before nominating for deletion? It would save a lot of people having to waste time discussing clearly notable subjects. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:39, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems notable and interesting....Modernist (talk) 12:17, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
