Succesful commercial artist, but fails NARTIST. All the sources are is PROMO or PRIMARY. The museum collections are unverfiable: there is no Milwaukee Museum, and the Milwaukee Art Museum does not hold his work [1]; Cobb-Murrieta Museum is not notable, and Petersen Automotive Museum is unverifiable (and an automotive museum, not an art museum).

Bio claims to be the official artist for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 17 times but this is unverifiable. What maybe appears to be happening is that Jacobs releases his own "Official Sturgis Rally Painting" [2]? But there is no reference to such a role on the sturgis.com page, just a few promotional posts [3].

The only question here is whether being on the Secret Millionaire TV show meets GNG (is there a SNG for reality TV? doesn't look like it) It seems like the majority of the people on the List of Secret Millionaire (American TV series) episodes do not have pages.

• Comment The previous AfD wasn't on the talk page. I think that is because it was closed as Delete, and the page was subsequently recreated. SO this honestly could have been a speedy G4, if someone wants to go that route. Theredproject (talk) 16:55, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The claim as first Harley Davidson-licensed painter is a rather strong claim of notability as is the fact that his works have been covered in book form. This claim is backed up by ample reliable and verifiable sources explicitly about the individual. Alansohn (talk) 18:53, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Alansohn: could you post those RS that verify the claim that he was the first Harley Davidson-licensed painter. I was unable to find anything that wasn't a replication of his own promotional biography stating such -- much like I was unable to verify the claims about being the official artist for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 17 times.

Theredproject, it's been added to the article, as have details and sources about his role as cover artist for the Sturgis rally. Could you read the article and review the sources? Alansohn (talk) 21:21, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Alansohn: I reviewed the sources you uncovered, and will be withdrawing my nomination. Nice research. Theredproject (talk) 15:39, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
