Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bela Duarte


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. There is disagreement about whether the sources are sufficient so I'm closing this as No Consensus rather than relisting this discussion. The fact that sources are not in English is okay, it just makes the search a bit more challenging. It would be nice if sources were moved from the discussion to the article but it's not mandatory.

She doesn't appear to meet WP:ARTIST or WP:GNG, or have a good WP:ATD. She has been in CAT:NN for 14 years now, so hopefully we can resolve it. Boleyn (talk) 12:14, 10 February 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  14:17, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete I think she is likely non-notable, which is unfortunate as she looks to be a good artist. Lots of passing mentions,perhaps promoting her work but nothing found in the WP:BEFORE which is substantial. Essentially a local artist. Fails WP:SIGCOV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scope creep (talk • contribs)
 * Comment- My Google search didn't bring what I can use to defend, maybe because some of the publications not in English, there is possibility of it being notable but I doubt with my search.Wasilatlovekesy (talk) 07:05, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm not sure why the prior !voters have been unable to find sourcing. I found four SIGCOV obituaries without much difficulty:
 * – obituary in one of the largest newspapers of Cape Verde.
 * – another obituary.
 * – obituary and audio profile.

 * Delete: am not find any additional RS information to add to the article. No RS for biographical information, no sources for exhibition or collections. None of the information listed above has been added to the article. No birth or death dates. I don't understand Portuguese. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:43, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep the sources adduced by Jfire above appear to be enough to support an article. While the first two look to be duplicates, there is enough coverage to work with.  There is no requirement that sources be added to the article immediately nor that they be in English.  In many cases, including this one a machine translation can go a long way in helping understand sources in a language one doesn't read.  "During his[sic] artistic career, in addition to Cape Verde, he participated in exhibitions in Austria, Belgium, the United States of America, France, Italy and Portugal. She was distinguished with the First Class of the Volcano Medal, in 2010, and First Class of the Medal of Merit of the Republic of Cape Verde, in 2018. In a statement, the Ministry of Culture and Creative Industries says it received with a feeling of regret the news of the death of the artist-teacher, Bela Duarte; “An unavoidable figure in weaving, who leaves, but is eternalized in her Art”."
