Notability[edit]

A {{notability}} tag has been removed twice from this article now - first time with an edit summary of "certainly notable" - this was reverted with an edit summary asking in what way it was notable. This was reverted with a summary saying its been there three months and take it to afd.

Firstly, the question about why is it certainly notable has not been answered and secondly, I am not aware of any time limit on the use of notability tags - especially when the article has not been changed since it was added. So, I ask again - why is it certainly notable - please reply here so we can avoid an afd if possible. noq (talk) 17:51, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think having entries for 400 year old churches in a prominent city like Milan is helpful in highlighting the names of prominent artists. For example, if one was making an entry for the Pellegrini painter in this church one might find that it links to other Pellegrini painters either in the city contemporaneously or across the ages. I find some small churches in Italian cities are virtual museums of works of art. I find that some of the artist in this church specifically Martino Bassi were involved in other major building projects in Milan.

I also am interested in how different ages are reflected in the different choices of church construction; that is, was the structure a parish church or associated with a specific order, and how does this distribution reflect the strength of various orders change across the Italian territory across time? What do the altarpieces say about the focus of devotion at a given age? Also a given church relates to a variety of styles, how does this inform changes of style across time? in this case Neo-baroque in 1897?--Rococo1700 (talk) 03:28, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are a number of easily found references in Italian online [1], & there will be ones in English that could be found in libraries. It may not be the most important church in Milan, but is a late-Renaissance building with paintings by various minor masters, & would easily pass Afd. You may find this ridiculous, but then I find the notability standards for obscure sports people equally so, as do many. It would be nice to cover the dubious early relic and other things in the article. Johnbod (talk) 08:46, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
