• Keep A well-known figure in African Art circles, notable. - Joshua Johaneman 00:47, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Tentative Keep "Well-known" needs verification... but I'll accept on a preliminary basis that this guy is encyclopedically notable from the google search. The article was created very recently and should be given time for better referencing/context. And its especially deserving of leeway with the need to fend off systematic bias (WP:BIAS) in mind (both in terms of his regional background and his profession Bwithh 01:02, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Bwithh; we aren't going to get accurate information on the notability of a Kenyan artist from Google. The ghits system is useful for garage bands from Michigan, not this. :) Anyways, establishing connections with a Brussels organisation, installing a large art project in Mozambique, and founding some sort of East African art organisation are all pretty good indications of notability. I wouldn't have worked on wikification if I didn't think the article had value. Picaroon9288 01:35, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
  • That's true. I hadn't really thought about that. I'm going to withdraw this nomination. Thanks for the input! — NMChico24 01:51, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
