[edit] Vincent Calavari

Vincent Calavari (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Nonnotable artist, but I don't think it would be very A7 or PRODable. A Google search shows very little, and it reads suspiciously like a vanity or even attack page. Although critics are mentioned, the critics in question are not mentioned at all. bibliomaniac15 00:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete nn per Google. JJL (talk) 00:33, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Noor Aalam (talk) 00:34, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

check my references, but critics is maybe a wrong word to describe general people discussion, although if some of them really are critics. And yes, the search result on google didn't gave so many hits, which I became quite surprise about, theirfor I wrote this article about Calavari because I think he is an interesting character, and yes, I have actual meet him in real life and acctualy own a painting made by him, I have put alot of time into this article, although I clearly send out the wrong message, I don't know what vanity mean, but I could probably guess, or the meaning of "attack page". anyway. It's not deletion of this article need, it's the grammar and correction of my bad english language, and even change the word "critics" to something else, I don't know how I could get references to all the critics, they are probably more unknown then Vincent Calavari.

    • Comment look at WP:RS, WP:N, and WP:BLP. Especially with the comments about things like his sexuality, you need to show that others have commented on him in newspapers, magazines, journals, etc.--that others have taken notice of him and written these things and that they're not solely your opinion.

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Visual arts-related deletions. – David Eppstein (talk) 04:38, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. Please see also the following four articles on his paintings:
  • Adrienne Painting
  • Angelica painting
  • Amorette painting
  • Allegria painting
I declined speedy deletion requests on two of these as they did not fit the speedy deletion criteria, but if the artist's article is deleted then I think these should be, as well. At the least, unless a lot more sourcing and information can be found for these paintings, I think they should be merged with the artist's article. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)


Okey, I could probably try to find comments about him in magazines, newspapers or journals, I guess I can stop by the local library to search in the archive to see if I could find anything, and if I found something... should I add the source to the reference section? (so you and others could verify) or should I wait?

    • Comment please do add sources if you have them. JJL (talk) 13:41, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete: The current source is an omnibus citation, and the article is highly intrusive, personal, and spurious looking. The artist does not appear to have wide fame or note. Utgard Loki (talk) 14:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Another "artists directory" entry, problem being, Wikipedia is not an artist directory. Primary editor should take note of that. Also, unless this guy has a twin brother, Damion Calavari should be added to this discussion/deletion. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 20:29, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Comment The funny thing is that the original version of that article [1] gives Damion a 1984 birthdate and, as reference, a book first published in 1965, as did Vincent's article until the primary editor obviously thought better of it [2].--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 22:15, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as NN. By the way, an Amazon online reader search of the English version of Mel Gooding's book (the Swedish translation is listed as a source) yields no references: [3]. The index doesn't list the artist either.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 21:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as NN. Him, his twin brother Damion, and the paintings too.  Esradekan Gibb  "Talk" 23:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • 'Delete as NN. Please don't waste our time with this sort of unreferenced contributions. / Mats Halldin (talk) 21:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
