[edit] Remove prod

I removed prod (deletion) which had been slapped on this article on the basis that it read like an advertisement. I can see that's a basis for a cleanup, but not for deleting the article if it has notability. There would certainly seem to be some notability - see Google results - enough to merit caution at this stage. Please don't BITE. Arts coverage is poor as it is. Tyrenius 09:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

• Looks to me like this is just a vanity page created by the person the article is about. Same user was spamming the same content in other inappropriate places, like Category:Calligraphers. Also see user:Araripe. Dr.frog 22:11, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
