 * Delete. Ghits only for artist listings, not major reviews or exhibits. ?Vanity entry? - contributing author has same last name and only contribution is this entry. &mdash;ERcheck @ 15:36, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Elena Roche: Please reconsider deletion. This entry would facilitate the public whereas Elena Roche receives inquiries several times a year from collectors trying to establish the identity of the artist vis a vis signatures "E. Roche" on their paintings.  Elena Roche was the subject of a documentary that has been aired continually on Discovery Times Channel since 2003, and consequently she has been sought out by viewers.  This listing would facilitate their search.  Elena Roche has first page position in Google for her most pertinent keywords, for example: "floral watercolors" and "portrait commissions".  Her website contains in excess of one hundred pages.  In her "hometown" of Tver, formerly Kalinin, Russia she is a local celebrity.  Thank you for your consideration.    24.176.195.165 04:29, 31 January 2006 (UTC)  Warren Roche
