Removed deletion notification. Reasons in Talk Page. Michael is one of the leading artists in the Urban Art Movement and certainly the most popular artist in the Midwest

Untitled

Michael Birawer is one of the leading new urban artists in the country. His large scale 3-dimensional works are gathering critical acclaim, especially in the Midwest. Michael's reproductions sell at over 50 retail outlets throughout the United States.

As you've probably noticed, the article Michael Birawer is not deleted at this time. That doesn't mean it has yet to pass the notability guidelines, simply that it has passed the guidelines for getting "speedy deleted" by at least asserting that Mr. Birawer is notable. I will gladly help you improve the article if you wish, do you need assistance? Right now, I'm going to do some google searching for evidence of notability for Mr. Birawer's page, and I will start working on his page along the way if I find some good information that establishes his notability in the Midwest art scene.
