David Kuijers
- David Kuijers (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Disputed prod. I'm just not sure he's a notable enough painter. Mere existence of his work at The Cape Gallery () doesn't seem like enough. I cannot find any neutral third-party review on Google but that could be more of a systemic bias problem than anything. Ricky81682 (talk) 08:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- Keep I would find it sad for the article to be deleted. David Kuijers is an active painter, who has received important commissions. A book has been published about his work, which is also an indication of importance. And I fear that the distance of South Africa from the UK or the US, and probably the fact that there is less spin over there than here about contemporary art, plays against him in this dispute : an artist of his standing in the US or the UK would probably be recognised as above the notability threshold.

- Delete, per WP:BIO. Incidentally, as a reply to Baronnet, the only book about him is written by himself (at least as it stands in the article). If he has important commissions, though, go ahead and add that to the article with reliable sources, and perhaps I'll change my vote to keep if you establish notability through those means. -Lilac Soul 09:38, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
