The result of the debate was DELETE, and note that copyvio takes precedence over consensus, thus WP:CP overrides AfD, and this article should have been blanked as usual and sent there. -Splashtalk 00:46, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Pinsky

This was tagged afor speedy deletion. Now, although this is obviously a vanity article (see name of article's creator), it should be noted that Wikipedia:Deletion_of_vanity_articles states "Only those articles where there is no remotely plausible assertion of notability should be considered for Wikipedia:Speedy deletion.". The article states "He received an Art for Architecture award from the RSA and his exhibition Pontis was shortlisted for the prestigious Gulbenkian Museums Award.", which sounds a plausible basis for notability. As for me, I have no interest in art or artists so I'm leaving this matter for others to judge. A bit iffy 17:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Does not appear particularly notable. Article written by User:Mpinsky. If kept, requires major cleanup. You can call me Al 17:39, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - sounds like a major artist but people shouldn't be writing about themselves. All this user's contributions have been self-promoting - hardly NPOV. Only keep if someone else does a balanced rewrite. Pdean 17:52, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  • comment This page is a copyvio from michaelpinsky.com, so if not speedied, then needs tagging for copyvio anyway. (I'm not sure what takes precedence) MNewnham 19:14, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Also appears to be a notable but vanity to me. Cleanup (obviously, since copyvio). —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-03 19:58Z
  • Delete. nn vanity. I don't know if it's a copyvio if it's written by the same person, though. --Deathphoenix 20:58, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
