This painter does not appear to meet the WP:ARTIST guidelines for notability. It would seem to me that Tschelan was one of many artists of a milieu of his time or place, and not one that stood out from that crowd. I also note that there are no corresponding "fr:Hans Tschelan" or "de:Hans Tschelan" articles: those pages would be expected about Shirt58 (talk) 12:30, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's not very easy to establish the notability of the pre-internet artists in case they are not names that you can't shout out immediately. Problem with this article is that I didn't find any references that his works are part of any significant collection and also, no reviews of his works. Also, it's suspicious that the article contains only two works of him, which are recently poped up at the auctions, so I tend to think, it was written to promote the sales. So, unless someone bring in the information I couldn't find online, I tend to Delete. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 10:05, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I see no evidence of notability. I have found some indications that there may be references. It's not much, stuff like the index page of Der Getreue Eckart, Volume 8, Issue 1 that refers to a 7 page article about Tschelan, "painter of colourful peasant life". His work seems to come up at auction occasionally, but not at prices (+/- €600) that make me think his work is highly valued. Mduvekot (talk) 20:29, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as certainly questionable for WP:CREATIVE and there's nothing imaginably better. SwisterTwister talk 06:41, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
