Deletion of Joe Nalo

Comment: The nominator did not mention whether or not they had completed a  search. If they had done so, they would have learned that Nalo is one of the best known and widely respected contemporary artists in Papua New Guinea, a country of seven million people. His work has been exhibited internationally, he is cited as an expert on the art of New Guinea in a book published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and so on. That is why I declined the speedy nomination. I have added seven references to the article, and invite other editors to help improve it instead of trying to delete it. Papua New Guinea is a poor, isolated and marginalized country. We should not perpetuate |systemic bias by deleting the biography of one of that country's best known artists
