As much information this article has, my searches (News, Books, browser, Newspapers Archive, highbeam and thefreelibrary found nothing) and the only current sources are interviews with family and friends and the blogspot for the Chicago Artist Archives. The article has existed since July 2008 with basically no improvement and I'm not seeing any anytime soon. As usual, I could've PRODded this but I wanted a consensus to compliment it. It's also worth mentioning User:RayAYang mentioned these issues at the talk page the day of the article's inception and I'm not from Chicago so I'm not sure how much about him is stored away in archives (probably not marginally locally notable).

 * Delete I can't find anything - nada. I tried the Chicago Tribune archive - zip. I found this: which says that he received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant, but the foundation's web site has a list of all of its grantees, and he's not listed. Plus that might be a different Bob Bailey. (His web site says he goes by "Bob"). Other than his web site, I can't even verify that he exists. LaMona (talk) 19:25, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
