Keep This artist's work is displayed at major museums, and a Google books search turns up many mentions of the artist in general texts such as Contemporary Art in Africa, African Arts, A History of Art in Africa, and Every Man's Guide to Nigerian Art. CordeliaNaismith (talk)

Could you please point out enough reliable sources that validates your claims? Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 21:30, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a couple of links to books that mention this artist. A quick google books search turns up many other books that mention this artist. Unfortunately, most of these are snippet view so can't be easily used for this article, but the many references to this artist in general texts indicate his notability.

• Contemporary Art in Africa
• A History of Art in Africa
• Every Man's Guide to Nigerian Art

• Keep but A sculptor notable in African art but I think there are some copyright issues with this brief entry. I think they can be easily addressed but they should be taken care of as it looks as if some of his bio is taken off a website. It would also help if we had a death date as the article discusses him in the past tense. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:41, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
