Only "sources" are Google Images and a listing on 1stdibs (a online antiques marketplace), neither of which are reliable. ★Gooseflesh12★ (talk) 19:56, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I think this could qualify for a speedy deletion at that.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Trillfendi (talk • contribs)

Delete. He was an illustrator (included in the "Hallmark Gallery Artists Collection", according to this Life magazine ad, and did illustrate at least one cover of Fortune), but just being reasonably successful in a profession isn't enough. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:26, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I hate to do this, but the expected references in Google Books just aren't there. Deb (talk) 15:46, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I think a trip to the library would save the article, as most sources are likely in print. However none of us have access to any good sources at the moment, so notability is not established.104.163.157.79 (talk) 02:06, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There's no evidence right now that he was notable. Lots of artists had one or two covers in 1930s magazines. Bearian (talk) 15:35, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree there isn't WP:SIGCOV to establish WP:ARTIST beyond simply doing his job. --Theredproject (talk) 20:48, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
