[edit] Madalina Nicola

Madalina Nicola (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

A previous version of this article created by user:Madalinanicola has been deleted twice. This version contains much the same text but it has been made a little less spammy. Is she notable? -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 19:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I am a painter myself. I think with over two dozen national exhibits, with a biographical movie on DVD, after giving art lectures and after being profiled in art magazines such as Gallery and Studio, Art Business News, Washington Post, Washington Times etc you become notable indeed.

  • Neutral. I agree with the above, that those sorts of things would make her notable. However, I can't seem to find much to verify this with. She's got her own website, which has a biography on it, but it's not third-party. There's also this and this, but I'm not sure if the first is reliable and the second isn't very substantial. Will change to keep if more sources can be found. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 21:17, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, this is the first article I’m trying to submit. The other two tries were a little clumsy, but I’m improving. Here are the articles and links for my original submission which got deleted for “spam.” Maybe I should have added them as references. Art Business News, a reputable national art magazine. Go down about 2/3 on the page, under NORTHVILLE, MI. Washington Times mentioning the opening of her exhibition title “Celebration”. Between October 7-31. Washington Post, 2/3 down on page one, “Paintings by Madalina Nicola.” I also got a better link for Real Earth Productions. In addition, The Gazz is talking about the screening of the biographical movie “Madalina” at the Library of Congress (see also 4th picture down.) Furthermore, there is Art Showcase Magazine; on top of page 13 of 24 it “Showcase Artist Madalina Nicola.” Also, DDA News, on page 8 of 9, has a press release from Sherrus Gallery for an art exhibit in Michigan. This link is for Super Silent Auction by the Karmanos Cancer Institute. Go to bottom of page 2 of 3 to see the item donated for auction by the artist Madalina Nicola to benefit KCI. I also called Dr. William D. Mett of Art Corporation of America and he confirmed that ACA does indeed represent Ms. Nicola. He mentioned that their website is in the process of being updated and will soon have Ms. Nicola’s art on display. He is located in Las Vegas, Nevada and is available for comments at: 702-736-1787. Also, Vegas Community Online lists Ms. Nicola (2/3 down on the page) as being nominated for the ARTV Awards in the Acrylics category. All these links will come up if you Google Ms. Nicola. There are 3-4 pages with links about her. I hope this clarifies the reason of my posting of the article on Ms. Nicola. Sorry for the long note or if I offended somebody.--Fineartlover (talk) 23:40, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment It should be noted that the comment above was originally added to the discussion by User:Madalinanicola, the author/subject of the article, reverted, then reposted verbatim under the new ID. --Finngall talk 00:35, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Note This is also due to my lack of experience with Wikipedia. When I first decided to write the article, I was under the impression that it may be beneficial if the User ID and the title of the article are the same, so I would keep everything under the same name. It seem like a good idea at the time. Next day, a friend pointed out that it makes it look like I am Ms. Nicola writting about myself, which is not true. Therefore I changed the User ID to something different.--Fineartlover (talk) 01:22, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - given username issues, the air of spam is here and will be so at least until reliable, neutral references are provided. Biruitorul (talk) 04:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. The references given above are of a trivial nature (listings pages, press releases, photos). A working artist, but not notable.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 09:33, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. There are numerous links in the notes above which all appear to be legit. Also, an advanced google search brought 4 pages with links about this artist. I think all that makes the artist notable enough.--Chessplayer2008 (talk) 17:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
