Article created by a WP:SPA whose only other edits are to the article on the subject's brother. All sources are primary. I found one substantive independent RS that could be used: https://www.donegaldaily.com/2019/10/06/a-special-sean-fingleton-art-collection-opens-at-lyit-picture-special/ - but this is, right now, a directory entry, and I don't see how to make it more than that. Maybe others can find some actual sources, rather than catalogue entries? Guy (help! - typo?) 16:35, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:ARTIST 4(d), having works in major collections, as I already stated ten years ago when I unprodded this; my unprod edit summary appears not to have been noticed by the nominator. Creation by an SPA is not a valid deletion criterion. From the article: Two of his works are in the collection of the Irish Museum of Modern Art. His painting, Coastal Scene, is part of the European Parliament art collection in Strasbourg. The source links have gone stale but searching his name on their sites verifies these claims. Additionally, the resulting page on the European collection site [1] provides in-depth material about the subject. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:37, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:ARTIST, also member of Aosdána and previously received a GPA Award - Alison ^talk 18:39, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:ARTIST (both exhibitions and awards) and above comments - and as a member of the national academy, Aosdána (a few hundred from thousands of Irish artists). Can use improvement, sure, but I see no good grounds for deletion. SeoR (talk) 00:25, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
