Oaktree b ( talk ) 16:20, 23 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment I can only find verification for his date and place of birth and school.  Running a WP:BEFORE I can see he exists and sells prints of cars and trains painted in a certain style.  The references are mostly promotional or native advertising.  I don't think he rises to WP:ARTIST .  The books, though, make me wonder if he is a notable illustrator.

Royal88888 ( talk ) 01:00, 6 August 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep because the subject meets Wikipedia:Notability .  Regarding WP:ARTIST (taken from my comment here ), Per WP:NBIO , " People who meet the basic criteria may be considered notable without meeting the additional criteria below [such as WP:ARTIST in our case]. " In reference to various additional occupation-specific criteria, such as WP:ARTIST, the policy also states, " Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included. A person who does not meet these additional criteria may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability. " Thus, even if the subject does not the meet WP:ARTIST standards, this alone is not valid reason for deletion, if WP:NBASIC is still met.  I believe it is, as significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources exists.  Here is a source assessment table: Source assessment table: prepared by User:IAmHuitzilopochtli Source Independent?  Reliable?  Significant coverage?  Count source toward GNG ?
