Not notable. No hits in news aside from a press release, no indication of notability aside from a prize at a non-notable art show (no news hits for the art show itself), and no hits in scholar. His books do not show up at Amazon or google.books. NJGW (talk) 18:11, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong delete - could have been an A7, in my opinion, but DGG felt we should give it a chance. Still fails all notions of notability and verifiability. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:22, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment It appears that the artist has won an invitation-only award [1]. Since supporting the article on the talkpage [2] I'm now more sceptical about the status of this award and haven't found any reference to it outside of this artist's biography. --Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 20:27, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. After reading the article on his book Peak civilization anachronism I'm getting rather low opinion on the notability of the author himself. Having an exhibition or a book published means nothing nowadays. Sometimes, you don't even need to pay for that, not to say about any assessment.
