Not seeing any claim to notability. Per
WP:NOTINHERITED, he is merely the former brother-in-law of someone notable, and died from COVID-19. If he was notable, we would be seeing obituaries, but there are none. Clearly fails
WP:NARTIST and
WP:GNG.

Article now edited so as to provide active reference for extensive aspects of personal notability. User Jimroland. — Preceding

Delete - not independently notable, all sources point to his relative. Clear case of
WP:NOTINHERITED.

Do not delete, Störm you obviously didn't read through latest edit. Reference 2. "Cheshire Art Gallery" doesn't even mention his relative. User Jimroland. — Preceding

The Cheshire Art Gallery (a non-notable commercial gallery) webpage is a standard artist bio puff piece for someone who has had work exhibited there, and in no way confers notability.

Do not delete - certainly the source provided by Jimroland confers individual notability. Will also add a second source.

Keep has work on public display including the portrait of Dodi and Diana, Princess of Wales in Harrods. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing);

Have never seen someone's work being displayed in a store as a valid criterion for meeting
WP:NARTIST. In any event, as Dodi's father no longer owns Harrods, I would be surprised if that portrait is still there, especially as Innocent Victims was removed a few years ago.

Comment, question - does being a
Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts achieve
WP:ANYBIO (well-known and significant award/honor)? also, although their are around 29,000 fellows that is only 110 awarded per year over its history.

Keep. He was a FRSA, and his death itself (possibly from CoVod19) was been reported in two reliable sources.

Delete. I'm not convinced that the subject passes
WP:GNG independently and that their notability is not linked to
WP:NOTINHERITED.
