[edit] Anry Nemo

Non-notable artist; unverifiable. Article calls him "popular" but his notability seems to be confined to deviantART and similar websites. 684 Google hits, lots of blogs but no reliable sources in evidence.

For past discussion on deviantART users, including this one, see AfD/Suzi9mm and AfD/Anry Nemo et al

• Comment i would say he is well known outside of DA - i wasn't aware that he is on DA or gfxartist at all. Actually i'd say that lots of people know his art without knowing it's from him. His gallery (currently offline - here's a partial mirror - [1]) will come as first page (from 500k hits) on google just on search term 'anry' alone. If i'll have time, i'll try to lookup some russian sources on him, but my russian is not very good. I won't vote because i am inactive on wp for long time, i just thought you should know this.- JohnyDog 19:56, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

That first result which pops up doesnt function and redirects to a webhosting service. Also a quick flick through some of the other results lead to other uses of the word anry (or in one case what seems to be another person using the same name). Yes he has other galleries featuring his work, but I could quite easily place some of my photos on multiple galleries and websites and use that to claim 'notability' for my work. What I think is the issue for these artists who have been tagged AfD is that although they may be extremely talented artists they lack further impact or notability beyond these websites which feature them. Bleedman and Linda Bergkvist havent been nominated and I think thats because their articles show that they have been published or involved in significant work beyond the production of work for these sites like DeviantART.

Yes, that is exactly why I haven't nominated those two. Melchoir 20:42, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
