[edit] Károly Doncsecz

Károly Doncsecz (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

An obscure potter. No sources except for what can be found in different wikipedias. Eleassar my talk 20:23, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak delete unless sources are found. There are a few hits out there but nothing obviously backing it up except the linked profile. I want to give it a chance but sourcing would probably need somebody to check a library of Hungarian publications of the era. --Dhartung | Talk 00:49, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

If he was famous and notable as you say it won't be hard to cite reliable written sources to confirm this. --Eleassar my talk 16:12, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. He was a famous artist, received several awards, there is a permanent exhibition of his works. I see several sources in the article, maybe it would be useful if the ISBN/ISSN of those publications were added, but I have no reason to doubt that they exist. – Alensha talk 16:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep seems notable for now. Revisit in 6 months if sources don't improve. Hobartimus (talk) 18:09, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - I think there are sufficient sources now. --Hkoala (talk) 18:20, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - Apart from that user:Doncsecz have obvious reasons to spread the word, K.D. appears to be a genuine artist, backed by plenty of unrelated sources (at least I checked the Hungarian ones, a dozen at least). Apart from existence he seems to be important enough to keep. --grin ✎ 18:43, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - A serious edit is necessary, but it seems he was an important representative of folk art in Hungary, so I don't think deletion is the propper way to go. Viator slovenicus (talk) 19:06, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, seems notable. Stifle (talk) 20:42, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - traditions and traditional social values, genuine artist, awards, Master of Folk Art (important in international culture) Tamas Szabo (talk) 03:40, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - see the sources. --Marcuspater (talk) 06:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - I don't see how the question of notability could be raised. Adam78 (talk) 06:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
