Previous AfD Articles for deletion/Abraham Lubelski.

A topic is considered "notable" if it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, reliable published works, whose sources are independent of the subject itself. This subject provides no such sources. Bus stop 16:47, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

 Weak Delete Keep - As the founder of a magazine, he may be notable, but as it stands there is no indication of notability, no sources, no wiki links to anything. If the article were to be improved and crucial info were added, I may change my vote, but it's a weak delete for now. I'll choose to be inclusionist here. Still needs work, though.

Delete - He is characterized as being a painter, an American contemporary artist. He is said to have worked also on conceptual projects, theater set designs, and installations. For all these endeavors no published material is provided. Bus stop 18:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I added some references. --Eastmain 22:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Comment: Eastmain: Concerning the link to: Air Fairs International, it is produced with "Word Press," described as a "personal publishing platform," and it links to Abraham Lubelski's "NY Arts Magazine." I think it is only promotional. It is critical of nothing. It praises everything. Bus stop 23:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Keep 35,000 google hits and they're not just blogs. He exhibited at the Venice Biennale 2001. (Other refs for this as well). The Hermitage Museum states, "widely known in the world of media artists and curators.". He is also a curator and there is an Abraham Lubelski Gallery in NY. The fact that this article has remained an unreferenced stub for so long is a testament to wikipedia's deficiency in the arts, not Lubelski's. Tyrenius 23:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

 * keep As Tyrenius says, while checkin G. I have discovered many very well known artists, N beyond a doubt by WP standards, but not in WP, whose exhibitions he has organized and curated. The list of those he has worked with might make a good source, but it is extensive. He really should compile it himself, so we can link. DGG 01:19, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Extensive sources indicate his notability. I added a sentance with sources to his page demonstrating he is notable enough to be in demand as a lecturer and panelist. Vassyana 09:58, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
