Tim Cantor seems to be a relatively successful professional artist, with his own gallery. The only significant award he has received that the article mentions, is a Bank of America award when he was 15. (This award is not documented with a useful reference in the article, but only by a citation to the bank's site, which does not mention Mr. Cantor.) The only reference provided for the information about Cantor is The Art of Tim Cantor, published by Ashby and Alfred publications, which, according both to the article and to the artist's website is owned by Tim Cantor. The article's primary author, User:ProfessorHarrison, is an employee of the gallery [1]. User:Nancy has clearly spent a good deal of effort in attempting to improve this article, but WP:N is still inadequate, in my opinion. I've tried to locate better information about Cantor and his work, but have not been successful. Tim Ross (talk) 11:01, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete- Unless independent notability is verified, this article's inclusion is difficult to justify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecoleetage (talk • contribs) 11:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as failing WP:BIO. As stated in the nom I have spent some time on the article despamming and NPOVing it but I wholeheartedly agree that the notability of the subject is questionable and secondary sources hard to find. nancy ^(talk) 15:23, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
