Notability borderline to questionable. No independent sources in article and little third-party coverage to be found. Rd232 ^talk 12:38, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, almost all the references are self-published. (GregJackP (talk) 14:15, 6 April 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Keep There is independent coverage about this artist, I added sources in the form of external links. The article needs to be rewritten in accordance with encyclopedic standards. --Vejvančický (talk) 20:45, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per new sources found. Yes, needs work. Ty 21:24, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment based on the new sources (listed as external links), I can see notability, however the article still needs major work. I still see the following problems, none of which rise to the level of deletion:
- Self-published references need to be removed, unless they can be verified by reliable sources and cited. Currently that includes refs 2-3,5, 7-12, and 15-16.
- Original research references need to be removed, which are the e-mail interview with WikiProject refs, 1, 4, and 6.
- As cited, the Clubofthewaves refs give the appearance of being authored by Havassy - if so, they are self-published and need to be removed or verified by reliable sources. If they are the work of another individual, then that author needs to be properly attributed in the citation. Refs 13-14 and 17.
- The current external links need to be turned into proper citations and references. (GregJackP (talk) 22:49, 8 April 2010 (UTC))[reply]
