Delete: Author of a few Beanie Baby coloring books. Has been tagged with "notable", and appears to fail WP:BIO with few to no reliable sources. Almost (or all) content appears to be contributed by AJC. Plastikspork (talk) 23:03, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong delete fails WP:N and WP:BIO in every way. No Ghits found. ArcAngel (talk) 23:45, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - no reliables sources writing about this artist. References provided do not establish notability. And based on the username of the editor who created the article, this is likely an autobiography. -- Whpq (talk) 17:40, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - New References were added. Contributions for this article were provided by different users. -- Tanton2008 (talk) 19:07, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: At the moment, 6 of the 8 references are ISBN's for the Beanie Baby coloring books. One reference is for the "National Watercolor Society-Associate Members", and the last is too AJC's own website, which is not quite a WP:RS. As for "different users", I count two WP:SPAs: Tanton2008 and Ajc2008. Plastikspork (talk) 19:22, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - it is a stub and will (hopefully) be expanded. Esasus (talk) 21:23, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * But it's a stub about a person with no coverage in reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 22:17, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: The stub was modified, added new information and new references.Tanton2008 (talk) 18:05, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - It still doesn't satisfy notability requirements. There are still no independant third-party sources (such as news sites) that can confirm why this person is famous.  Plus there are POV issues with the wording, AND an unsourced claim about the person donating some portraits to a museum.  ArcAngel (talk) 19:23, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - The museum confirmed about the artworks and donation. Artine Artinian was a one of the founders of the museum. The article is a stub and it is going to be expanded. the stub contains 8 references: five - printed ISBN, three - online sources. Local newspaper Mountain Times (Boone, NC)published two articles about the artist between 1995-2000. Looking for those references.  Tanton2008 (talk)20:04, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: Reliable sources were added. Now the stub contains 10 references.Tanton2008 (talk) 23:21, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
