[edit] Qu Qianmei

Reads like advertising and copyvio, and notability is somewhat questionable. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 04:32, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep - Article needs improvement. However, this details an exhibition of work to the General Assembly of UNESCO, and then a world tour. Both establish notability. KnightLago (talk) 16:49, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep The effort put into these nominations would have better gone into improving the articles. Things are either copyvio or not--cant delete on the basis that it might conceivably be. If one wants to allege copyright violation, one needs evidence.DGG (talk) 23:26, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Although the artist has curated an exhibition for UNESCO [1], the article still doesn't pass WP:BIO. Organising one exhibition is not sufficient. The artist needs to have work in museum collections, have won major awards and/or be the subject of books or press reviews.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 00:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per DGG. Notability "somewhat questionable" is a poor reason to delete. "Reads like copyvio" simply means that, probably, some publicity for the artist, or the like, was copied. That's an editing problem, not a reason to delete the article. Problems with content are not a reason to delete, they are a reason to edit. I found what appears to be a French governmental website with an exhibition of this artist listed.[2]. It would take quite a bit of work to verify the fairly impressive list of exhibitions on the article page, but it would be surprising if there were not information about some of these exhibitions in French publications.--Abd (talk) 02:19, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
