Orphan article, no references, weasel words. —Bkell (talk) 06:34, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep. According to Google this piece of artwork is relevant to the South African art scene. Therefore all the deficiencies the nominator mentions can be quickly solved by requesting cleanup (perhaps from a Art WikiProject) rather than deletion. - Mgm|(talk) 10:47, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Can you point to the source you found, Mgm? Using this google search, there were 3 relevant hits in the first page (the rest were for a steak house (which imo deserves an article - but that's another story) and a golf society). This was one and the other two were blocked (I'm at work). But based on the nominator's reasons for a delete, I'm going to go with keep because 1>I'm not aware of a policy/guideline to remove orphaned articles; 2>References do exist; and 3>Weasel words can be edited out.

- I've already added to relevant sources to the article and I am about to look at a third that may provide additional info for inclusion. I have also reworded the article and done some formatting. - Mgm|(talk) 11:22, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I've done what I think is the minimal amount of work needed to fix the article now. - Mgm|(talk) 11:34, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per MacGyverMagic and the work that he has done. DARTH PANDAtalk 15:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Nomination withdrawn. The cleanup has helped a lot, and with references I now see that this artwork is notable. It would still be nice to have a link to it from some other article, though. —Bkell (talk) 21:47, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I'll see if I can find a relevant project to ask them to create an article on the artist. - Mgm|(talk) 23:01, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
