I am trully cautious, but this might be copyvio according to this and this The Banner  talk 19:25, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, the Subject is notable, but if someone could have a word with the creator about copyright, that would be great. Vexations (talk) 21:38, 16 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete There are several cite errors in the article. I would say delete unless they were fixed, in which case weak keep. ~Cupper (talk) 19:39, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep Meets WP:NARTIST: the article itself claims he is in a half dozen museum collections. I have already confirmed one collection, and the others seem likely. The article is by a student editor.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:32, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I've confirmed three collections (example). The page is a great addition to Wikipedia. It needs some cleanup, but the notability is very clear.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:43, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Please note that I did not nominate because of notability but because op copyright concerns. At the time of nominating it was 58% copyvio. The Banner  talk 20:47, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , I don't believe AfD is the right venue for copyright concerns. That would either be CSD, or simply edit out the offending portions and request a revdel.  Onel 5969  TT me 20:49, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Copyvio has been fixed. I think the history should be left for a few days, as this is a class project, and perhaps the teacher would like to see that copyvio.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:56, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Oops, just saw this note. I'll refrain from working on it so the student editor can engage. (I got excited learning about this artist.) Netherzone (talk) 17:31, 17 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep, confirmed the Gilcrease Museum and the Heard Museum. Passes WP:NARTIST.  Onel 5969  TT me 20:48, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Clearly meets notability requirements per WP:NARTIST by way of museum collections mentioned above by and .  Netherzone (talk) 21:30, 16 November 2020 (UTC)


 * As my concern was copyvio only: request speedy close as keep. The Banner  talk 21:47, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , I removed the dups the dup detector identified. For the closer's edification: do you think a copyvio-revdel would be warranted here?
 * , this AfD could be closed speedily except for your conditional delete !vote (which I don't believe discloses a genuine WP:DELREASON—citation errors are not grounds for deletion). Would you consider striking your delete? AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 22:22, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
