The result was keep. Speedy. This doesn't have a chance of closing delete, and to quote WP:DELPRO, speedy keep is permissible for "nominations which are so erroneous that they indicate that the nominator has not even read the article in question." The claim this fellow is living, plus the statement in the article at time of nomination that he was working in 1754, is evidence that this nomination probably meets that test. joe decker ^talk 16:07, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An article about a living person that has no significant sources and should not be on Wikipedia. Alvin the Almighty (talk) 10:37, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He died three centuries ago and was a prominent painter active in middle XVIII century. Manuel Toussaint's Arte Colonial de Mexico it's the summa about New Spain Art and talks about this author. I suggested to Paulina Lordméndez (talk · contribs) about add birth and death dates. Thanks, --ProtoplasmaKid (talk) 10:43, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep clearly not "an article about a living person" given that he died in 1785. Also there are sources provided. Meets WP:GNG _└^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 11:00, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NB: I've previously warned the nominator about inappropriate use of the {{blp-prod}} tag to propose deletion of articles about a non-living person [1][2], and articles which do cite references [3][4] [5] _└^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 11:00, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as stated by the above user, this article is not a BLP article and it does cite references. All it needs is a bit of expansion and links to other articles. Zyc1174 (talk) 12:08, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- For a start, he isn't living. Also, it gives a decent amount of coverage in WP:Reliable Sources and therefore passes the golden rule. Dat GuyWiki (talk) 13:06, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Living person? Nope. No significant sources? Nope. Satisfactory rationale for deletion? Nope. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:55, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
