Article about an artist. Claims are made that subject is notable in his own right. But I get only 100+ g-hits - (see [1]). There is no reason to suspect anything other than good faith on the part of the article creator, and work has clearly been put into the piece, but it also looks a little like a possible WP:CONFLICT.
On the plus side there is some limited local reportage (university press etc..) and two disputes appear to have stirred some brief press interest (see talk page for details). But as an artist he has had no major exhibitions (national or otherwise), there are no national press reviews of the artist or of his artwork, no coverage on major art websites, no auction history etc.. I think the question for here is whether or not Milhay is notable in his own right? Setwisohi ( talk) 19:13, 2 April 2009 (UTC) reply
Re: comment by Setwisohi above 09:30, 3 April 2009: I am not the article creator. That is a question best addressed by that individual, Michaelangeloh.

Re: Wall Street Journal Press: I have uncovered another WSJ article of interest and learned that the subject won $10,000 in 1988 from a college entrepreneur contest for a business proposal to design and sell architechtural ornamentation. This sounds like a pretty strong source of national (even international) recognition. I've actually included this detail in the article since it was neither referenced nor described. This is some further evidence of notability as an artist and individual. Publication title:Wall Street Journal. New York, N.Y.: Feb 23, 1988. pg. 1.
