I am not convinced that this French painter is notable per WP:BIO or WP:ARTIST. I find no reliably sourced third-party coverage of him, and the museums in which his works are said to be exhibited (the Davis Museum and the Museum of Everything) do not appear to be notable.  Sandstein  13:35, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - No coverage in reliable sources, and his work does not appear to be in the permanent collection of notable museums and galleries. -- Whpq (talk) 18:03, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

• Wait. I have contacted the subject and he has provided several different references. I am not a proficient French speaker and I am not familiar with these sources, so I will leave it to other editors to properly identify these sources.

• Change opinion to keep. Thanks for providing the sources. Some of this coverage is superficial or not in reliable sources, but in aggregate it does indicate that the subject is taken seriously and reported on as a professional painter in France.  Sandstein  10:11, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
