to the two comments above: The coverage about R.T. is related to the two (directly related) forgeries, and the court trial that followed. Actually, coverage is shortly before or after the court trial. For me, this constitutes one event, and  applies. We should not have a ''biographical'' article on R.T. If the crime as such is notable, as DGG suggests, one might think of writing an article about the crime. However "rare" does not imply "notable". As to the comments on the talk page, I ''strongly'' oppose including R.T. on the base that he is a "talented artist" with "exceptional painting skills", etc. This is pure speculation and POV. If R.T., being released from prison, becomes a well-known artist who passes , then we should include him, but not on the base of the current facts
