Biography of an artist. Google doesn't turn up anything except this guy's website, and Facebook and Flickr type links. There is a half-hearted attempt to assert notability by mooching it off people like Dali right at the bottom, so I brought it here. Edit: Oh yeah, the article was created by the subject and apparently has been tagged for speedy before and contested. Reyk _YO! 23:12, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy delete - I originally (a couple days ago) userfied this article, but then it came back to the mainspace today. I then tagged it for CSD, and that tag was removed by User:Eastmain stating 'possibly notable'. Possibly notable or not, the article does not show notability, also fails WP:V... - Adolphus79 (talk) 23:22, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Delete - Not notable. And the sentence that some of his works "are held in collections internationally paired with..." doesn't mean a thing to me. Which collections are that? And how are they paired? Or is this just a grand way of saying that "Tiny Canadian Gallery" happens to be a member of the same art-dealer's union (or whatever) as "Major European Museum"? Sounds like typical "Gallery Speak" to me, sorry.  Channel ®   00:55, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
