Biographical article (possibly WP:COI) about a moderately successful artist. His only claim to notability is winning one local award and being featured in a few local magazines. Completely fails to meet the criteria of WP:ARTIST and probably not even WP:GNG. Lacks reliable sources too. andy (talk) 11:04, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Judging by a Google Books search, the subject seems to have had artwork used in a several publications. A general search turns up quite a few references to his artwork although little in depth about the man himself, indicating the biography is primarily WP:OR or adapted from the subject's website (i.e. primary source).

Keep a fairly notable western artist. While the article needs an overhaul, this article should stay. He has a decent AskArt bio. Some other resources: American Cowboy Magazine, Bozeman Magpie, he participated in the Autry's Master's of American West art auction, which is one of the most important western art auctions in the world, Cowboy Poetry, which is a notable website in the Cowboy Poetry movement, Artists Network article.

I'm afraid that doesn't answer the issue of notability. I've looked at your recent contributions to AfD discussions and I'm not sure that, as a newcomer to wikipedia, you fully understand the process. It's not enough to say that you like or dislike an article, you need to address the reasons for the proposed deletion. andy (talk) 09:55, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
