[edit] Dimitris Mytaras

Dimitris Mytaras (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article was prodded and the prodded removed with no change in text. I believe the article fails WP:BIO and WP:V. It has been suggested that the last sentence of the article "Mytaras has participated in more than 30 international group shows, including the 1972 Venice Biennale" asserts notability. But I believe policy requires that assertion be validated when questioned. I have made no attempt to assess the assertions of article, let this unreferenced article be considered for AfD.

  • Delete due to failure to verify. Even if sources are added then I'd still have serious concerns about notability. --RaiderAspect 04:04, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Sources are easy enough to come by, although with little knowledge of the sites involved I'm unsure of their reliability. See [1] [2] [3]. I'm unsure of how notable he is, or what weight participating in the Venice Biennale carries, so no !vote from me. One Night In Hackney 04:42, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep the Venice Biennale is very prestigious.-MsHyde 06:58, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per MsHyde. Participation in the Biennale makes the artist notable. -- Bpmullins | Talk 16:11, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
  • KeepComment - The original article was probably violating WP:C as it was mostly copied from one of the above mentioned sources. Now it looks better and there are also two additional sources that should establish notability. Tikiwont 16:45, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep, one of the classic cases where there is a notable subject but references are not up to par Alf photoman 15:28, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
