No WP:RS to VERIFY GNG or NARTIST, I could only find a passing mention in a Florida paper, and an exhibition listing in a travel section of the NYT. Also, lists 'Who's Who' which is a big red flag. I searched academic databases, via OneSearch. Of note, this article was created in 2011 by a User:Strklnd which implies a WP:COI. It was flagged for notability the day after creation, but hasn't improved in 9 years. Theredproject (talk) 17:23, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete he does appear in Who's Who in America several times, but that's it. I saw no secondary coverage. WP:ARTIST fail.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:31, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete apart from the Who's Who, the coverage is meagre. I could find only two unimpressive newspaper articles which I added. Curiocurio (talk) 23:35, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I’ve looked a couple of times in recent months because he comes up on so many dealers’ sites and image searches I couldn’t believe nothing was written about him, but if it was, I can’t find it. Mccapra (talk) 02:19, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - The subject of this article does not meet notability guidelines WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST. All I could find were listings on auction sites, which do not count towards significant coverage. Netherzone (talk) 16:45, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
