For almost the last 10 years ever since this article was created, it still does not meet WP:BIO, specifically WP:ARTIST; the only sources so far are just links to his works, and one actual source that mentions but does not directly focus on Storey himself. Looking up on Google returns other people named David Storey; one is a British writer who died on 27 March 2017. theinstantmatrix ( talk) 05:20, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

- Keep Debating the notability of art and artists is rarely fruitful.-- Davidcpearce ( talk) 12:14, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
- Actually it is -- being the whole point of this page -- in determining whether, for example, this artist qualifies for a Wikipedia article. -- Calton | Talk 16:13, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

- Delete. An essentially unsourced CV. -- Calton | Talk 16:13, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

- Delete unless someone can find some much stronger sources. I added what references I could find to this page in November and tagged it for notability at that time. One citation and one tiny fact have been added since then (there was also some copyvio, which I've removed). Searching for sources is made harder not just by the well-known writer of the same name, but also two apparently different painters ( David Storey, David Storey).
