Keep. The article was created only a few hours ago. Article needs clean up and addition of sources, not deletion. I've already found one to start from [1] just doing a quick scan. Seraphim♥Whipp 18:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notable jewelery designer for large part of the late twentieth century. The sources are not on-line, but on the pages of fashion magazines and in books. --Blechnic (talk) 22:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Off line sources can easily be cited. However there are none listed, thus no WP:RS and nothing in the article asserts notability. Bstone (talk) 23:03, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is AfD, not pressure others to work it. I don't care if it's deleted. It's more work to create an article than to delete it, and I assume there's some hidden AfD contest. He wrote a chapter in a book, that's good enough for me. You've just cited the usual: it ain't on the web, therefore it ain't notable. Yawn. --Blechnic (talk) 23:09, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. First up, this is a textbook WP:INSPECTOR. Secondly, please read the first paragraph of WP:N: "If an article currently does not cite reliable secondary sources, that does not necessarily mean that its topic is not notable." Lack of reliable sources (often called "asserting notability") is not always a good criteria for deletion. An article is not required to assert notability, the subject just need to be notable. This artist appears to be a notable jewelry designer as you can see from even a cursory Google search, here, here, and here. --ColorOfSuffering (talk) 20:32, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
