considerable publicity, but no major works, no works in museums, no significant critical studies of his work . Just PR DGG ( talk ) 17:37, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep It is true that he seems to fail WP:NARTIST. However he seems to meet GNG, since there is indeed a lot of coverage of his work (in addition to what is in the article). However the article needs a very serious trim.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:14, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - A rare example of a maker whose cultural products sustain the legacy of the Wunderkammern, archives of objects of wonder. While I think of his work more as craft rather than art, historically his work aligns with David Wilson's Museum of Jurassic Technology; Thomas Dent Mutter's Mutter Museum; the historical Ashmolean Museum cabinets of curiousity; the Leverian Collection, and others in this niche arena. He has had sustained coverage; passes WP:GNG. I believe this article is a solid keep, altho he does not fit into the categories by which "artists" works are usually measured (museum collections, permanent public art works, critical/analytical art historical writing, etc.) - he's a rara avis; a horse of a different color; an anomaly.
