non-notable artist. damiens.rf 19:33, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article from The Age cited is a good source and there are several GBooks results, e.g. [1], [2], [3]. I also found coverage in a GNews archive search a while back but Google seem to have dropped the archive(?). --Michig (talk) 19:51, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The article is comprised of 1 or 2 sentences, which violates A3. Article also lacks enough content to be able to keep out of A1. Article has existed for over 8 years, but no significant improvements or future signs of improvement whatsoever. TheTriple M 20:40, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It meets neither of those criteria for speedy deletion. --Michig (talk) 20:54, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Michig's sources, plus this article from the Organization of American States magazine Americas [4]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:05, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- no sufficient English-language sources. This page is better off in the Spanish Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skylar Jean (talk • contribs) 11:41, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter what language sources are in. --Michig (talk) 16:52, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm looking at WP: ARTIST and can't see anything in the article that conforms to that. Were this article new, I'd go for a weak keep to allow time for it to build up, but it's been here since 2005 so if the subject was notable I'm sure we'd have a lot more to go on by now. --gilgongo (talk) 16:43, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:GNG, which is satisfied here. Article state and notability are not related. --Michig (talk) 16:52, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In any case, subject has now been shown to meet the 'significant critical attention' criterion of WP:ARTIST, if nothing else. --quantumobserver ^position momentum _{entanglements} 21:13, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The references in the article indicate that this artist has been covered in adequate detail by reliable sources, meeting WP:GNG. I agree with Michig's remarks above. Sandstein 12:32, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Easy keep with the strong sources mentioned above, now in the article, and the Lucie-Smith book cited by Arxiloxos. --quantumobserver ^position momentum _{entanglements} 21:10, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
