Delete Being featured at a tulip festival is hardly wiki-worthy. Zero hits on this person, lots of hits on anyone with his name. Oaktree b (talk) 15:47, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Page doesn't qualify for wiki. It reads like a resume or self-promotion. Wikipedia Community (talk) 01:38, 30 December 2022 (UTC) Striking sock vote. Vanamonde (Talk) 20:36, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Let me state for the record that I have no WP:COI relationship with the subject. I only admire his art.

The article is currently a newly created stub. Help appreciated on improving the article. PK-WIKI (talk) 03:05, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable northwest artist; citations show significant coverage in major reliable sources. PK-WIKI (talk) 17:14, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I added some information from the Washington State Arts Commission, but the subject still fails WP:NARTISTS. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 17:28, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:WomenArtistUpdates I added a Seattle Times citation rating Jack Gunter's life-sized mural in the local theater as a Top-10 attraction in Snohomish County. This should pass the WP:NARTISTS qualification "The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument". PK-WIKI (talk) 03:25, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 20:54, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I hardly think that his mural being part of one of the top ten attractions in a US county is the intent of criterion 4(a) of WP:ARTIST. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:35, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm not finding anything that would meet NARTIST nor GNG. There are some articles about him in a local paper but nothing with a broader audience. I note also that his books are self-published. Lamona (talk) 15:52, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
