Tagged as failing notability for a year now - and was previously notability tagged in 2007, only being removed due to it being lost in various vandalism edits. Appears to be a non-notable calligrapher, with only primary or self-published sources existing on him, and I'm not seeing how the source in the article is reliable for the one vague notability claim.

Please see the third-party article on this man at the link given. This seems to me to provide adquate grounds for inclusion.Kdammers (talk) 07:10, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Everything2? That doesn't look like a reliable source, and certainly not for the vague claim it made. Besides, it's one solitary source - which still isn't enough for notability, even if it is reliable. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:25, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Evrything2 is not a reliable source. There are hints of notability. In a google news seearch, there is a paywalled article from the Fresno Bee for which the search summary reads "The cursive, fluid designs by highly regarded calligraphers, such as Denis Brown of Ireland and Dave Wood of Australia, are displayed on one lobby wall. Or you ..." but that's best hint I could find. A solo exhibition is noted in the article but with no details or sourcing. I can find no indication his works are held in the permanent collection of major galleries or museums. -- Whpq (talk) 15:30, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
