I couldn't find anything WP:RS to establish notability, and the artists own website has expired. I looked in journal sources as well. Theredproject (talk) 03:32, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep He has a credible claim of notability as a sculptor. This source is already in the article and this archived link provides in-depth coverage about Cannon. Searches in both Google and Google News turn up additional sources to support the claim of notability. Alansohn (talk) 04:46, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you show us some examples of the good sources? I saw only very poor quality sources. The source given, an archive of pmfineliving.com, is a profile in a defunct lifestyle magazine that does little to support notability.104.163.147.121 (talk) 05:01, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete a search for "Robert Cannon sculpture" finds nothing in google books or news. The web does return a few items, but they are mostly in the genre of "gee whiz" Pinterest-style articles, to do with home decorating. There is zero professional art world recognition of his work. Let's see some reliable sources, as I can find none.104.163.147.121 (talk) 05:07, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Lourdes  04:51, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Most of the sources I found are blogs and pinterest level links. Though his art is quite interesting, I agree with 104.163.147.121 that nothing coming from professional art world, that may show passing WP:CREATIVE or WP:GNG. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 10:06, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
