Tom Mosley

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD was removed under the assertion that Mosley meets WP:NARTIST; I disagree.

Although Mosley's work is apparently held in some German museums, NARTIST requires more than that. Specifically, NARTIST dictates that the museums themselves be "notable". I do not believe that the museums holding Mosley's art are notable enough to satisfy NARTIST.

Of the four museums noted in the article (Fritz-Winter-Haus, Forum Konkrete Kunst, Museum für Konkrete Kunst, and the Osten Museum of Drawing), only the Museum für Konkrete Kunst has an article - and only in the German Wikipedia (de:Museum für Konkrete Kunst). That museum has been closed since 2016, possibly to re-open in 2019. The rest merit little more than footnotes on de.wiki, and no mention on en.wiki, suggesting a lack of notability.

Per my PROD, I made extensive checks for any sources discussing Mosley: checks of Google, GBooks, GNews, JSTOR, Highbeam, and Newspapers.com found no reliable sources. I looked under "Tom Mosley", "Tom Mosley"+painter, "Tom Mosley"+artist, "Tom Mosley"+"Shadow Box" and came up empty. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 18:43, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
