Subject is a window maker (who apparently for most of his career worked in partnership) and the only source in the article is a student thesis about church windows. I can't find even a hint online of Slagmolen being written about in any detail in reliable sources. Existence in itself doesn't make someone notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article.

Comment Some scattered coverage in GNewspapers, such as and this , which both appear local in nature. Nothing in Google or GScholar. Unsure about this one. Oaktree b (talk) 20:05, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
Comment. Also nothing in Delpher. Of course, with the sculptor dead, there is no WP:BLP concern. But we do need sources. Maybe an extensive newspaper archive search will provide more sources. gidonb (talk) 20:49, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
Keep, I think, he has multiple documented pieces of public art and architecture documented by various Australian government bodies: Dallas Brooks Hall ... Rein Slagmolen (sculptured entrance pillars); an office building at 99 Queen Street (mural by Rein Slagmolen, 1967); The sculpture illustrates the brewery processes (in an abstracted manner) and was made by the artist and sculptor Rein Slagmolen. Slagmolen was born in Holland in 1911 and established himself as an artist in Melbourne. In addition to his oil paintings and sculptures, Slagmolen also sculpted the entrance pillars to Dallas Brooks Hall in East Melbourne (1963-69). Within the glazed tower adjacent to the mural, the 1971 photographs clearly show a shiny steel kettle, extending almost to the full height of the tower.. And searching newspaper archive () finds some results in Dutch-language Australian newspapers, such as with a bad OCR/google translate snippet of Built in Sydney Melbourne Vic a Melbourne artist just blow mill raises a color rich wall relief in ...which now refers to the Sydney's Pitt Street. Rein Slagmolen has, among other things, a glass mosaic wall Gemma it. A quasi-government agency that documents art in Victoria has documented his stained glass installation at a church: .

Keep. I looked behind the paywall and item #2 and #3 in the archival list of articles above are sufficient for the WP:GNG. There is more data and no WP:BLP concern. I also improved the article. gidonb (talk) 22:17, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
Delete I do not see any reliable citations for the biographical information in the article. I cannot find sources for the claimed "Major examples of Slagmolen's work" at the bottom of the article. The article is almost identical to the article at Alchetron, but I assume the Wikipedia article came first. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 02:16, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
Keep per WP:HEY. I've added several RSs and slightly expanded the article. Slagmolen undertook significant works throughout Australia and was/is a nationally recognised sculpture and artist. I feel there is enough now to justify the page and meet WP:GNG. Cabrils (talk) 00:47, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
