Keep Meets WP:ARTIST with two museum collections (added sources). It will always be a very short stub, but who knows, maybe he will do something else notable?ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:43, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I spoke too soon. He has designed two coins, both by open competitions that he won. One was in 2007, the other in 2012. The article version that was nominated had the sources mixed together. Meets GNG also by sustained coverage over time. More sources added.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:07, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
