Guys claim to fame is the first fiber glass painter. Sure that is notable, but I can't find any sites for this guy. (The only URL went to a site that is now something rather inappropriate, couldn't use the dead link for it either) Interesting that not even the Spanish wiki has a page for this guy, has been on here for years though.

Okay I have looked up David Lach (painter) and I have found some links for him, but nothing as of yet to say he was the first one. If someone can find proof behind this I will cancel this AFD. Wgolf (talk) 01:33, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wgolf, Perhaps this: "El mexicano David Lach está considerado como el primer creador plástico que utilizó fibra de vidrio ..." http://ceape.edomex.gob.mx/sites/ceape.edomex.gob.mx/files/David%20Lach.%20Catarsis.pdf Vexations (talk) 22:51, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, is painting on fiberglass really notable? would it mean Lach meets no. 2 of WP:CREATIVE because of it? Coolabahapple (talk) 23:14, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All fiberglass boats since the 1960s have been painted. Painting on fiberglass, even if it's not a boat but instead a figurative, abstract or contemporary painting, seems like a silly claim.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:30, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not so much painted as covered in gelcoat. Vexations (talk) 21:43, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking of below the waterline, where epoxy-based paints are usually applied. Not that it is worth arguing about. Hand-painted fibreglass lampshades were also popular in the 1950s. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:50, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment After a quick search I found 3 antique stores and a mirror wiki.^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] I mean it's arguably notable. Mosaicberry (talk) 00:33, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
