Notability questioned in 2011, but not followed up on. This is way out of my area of expertise, but the impression I get from the article itself, despite its lengthy list of exhibitions, is certainly not that the subject is actually notable. My opinion is delete, but certainly views from people more familiar with art would be greatly appreciated. --Nlu (talk) 04:33, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The articles in the Los Angeles Times and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (I fixed that link), plus all the exhibitions, establish notability. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:55, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete insufficient depth or breadth of otherwise RS to establish notability; further, the number of little exhibitions at which an artist has shown isn't one of our WP:ARTIST criteria - I booked 8 shows last year alone (none of which were in Palm Desert) and I'm not lobbying for a WP entry DocumentError (talk) 06:11, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can't see any substantial conformance to Wikipedia:ARTIST in the article. --gilgongo (talk) 16:29, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - though he only graduated 10 years ago he's had a major write up in the LA Times in 2007. The article needs much improvement in terms of sourcing however. Reviews of his other exhibitions are hard to find! Sionk (talk) 17:33, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
