Woefully inadequately sourced article. Searches turned up thousands of hits, but couldn't find any about this artist, apparently it's a pretty common name. Clearly does not meet WP:FILMMAKER, and not enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable secondary sources to show they meet WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 01:01, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete there are a few things that could establish notability. However, the first one I checked (10 pieces in the Baltimore art museum collection) turns out to be untrue. When I see such puffery and outright deception, I say delete.104.163.159.237 (talk) 21:49, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I also tried to verify the Baltimore Museum, and I couldn't. This would be the main thing that would establish. I also find it troubling that the body of work supposedly exhibited at BM was co-authored, but his collaborator is not mentioned. Theredproject (talk) 19:46, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment The above are deleting valid reliable sources based on a mischaracterization of WP:V. Verifiability means we must verify that the SOURCE says what the ARTICLE says. In the case of the source removed by 104.163.159.237, the source says what the article says. You can't negate a reliable source by performing original research.

 * Delete - I can't find any media coverage besides museum announcements of various exhibits. Fails WP:GNG. TimTempleton (talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  18:57, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
