The result was no consensus to delete, and perhaps no consensus that the person even existed. Article may well wind up back at AfD, but it seems there is sufficient doubt at this time. Mojo Hand(

Artist that does not seem to meet
WP:ARTIST or claim to significance. Only References to be found are from his galleries website or auction houses and art galleries selling his paintings. -

Delete: Clearly a prolific artist in his time, and has one work in a Liverpool collection
[1] but while that could contribute towards
WP:ARTIST criterion 4(d), it is insufficient. Happy to revise opinion though if someone can identify works in prominent public collections or critical coverage.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Keep. Mind you, I saw
Northamerica1000's relisting and I was going to just delete this, but thought I'd do a little snooping. It's quite amazing: there's next to nothing about this guy but his paintings are for sale all over the place. I found
this here, which I was prepared to discard, but I read the page and developed some faith in the website's author. It's still no much but it's something. Let me ping the local art experts,
Mandarax and
Johnbod, who may be able to find something related to this sofa artist.

Week Keep/Neutral - I found a few more bits of coverage, the best result of which is his birth name which gives another search term. I added the material in a way to help future researchers as I don't think this will survive AfD. The Oregonian doesn't indicate their sources for a Q &A and I'm not familiar with the Gallerie Molinas to know if it meets RS. I won't have time to dig on the name this weekend but I think we warrrants more digging. If I don't get back to this before it closes, please userfy for me. If I can't bring it up to par within a reasonable amount of time, I'll delete.
