Elio Carletti

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable painter (I can't even find anything he made, and I noticed that a legitimate painter "Mario Carletti" does exist and has no bio at all but no relation. Very odd and probably just a very old joke. Jane (talk) 15:34, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

 * He is known not for his work as a painter but the quotation attributed to him. If we are judging the article on his work as a painter I would say delete the article. But since it is his quotation that is famous I say KEEP. --Daffydavid (talk) 22:32, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Are you sure the quote is not by a fictional character in a movie? I really don't think there is any evidence this person existed. Jane (talk) 07:58, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
 * You're kidding, right? --Daffydavid (talk) 07:01, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
 * No I am not kidding. I am ok with having people in painter categories whose claim to fame is not painting (like Hitler), but I am not ok with having people in a painting category who only exist in movies. Jane (talk) 07:33, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Your supposition that he is only a fictional character in the movies is is the only real issue here. Does repeating it make it seem more real?--Daffydavid (talk) 09:49, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
 * No, my supposition has to do with slapping a proper stub on the article and throwing it into another category as a way to save it from deletion. The main issue is the lack of any reliable references in the article to support the claim that this person is a notable painter. Jane (talk) 12:20, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Not a notable painter. Also, people who did not make any real headway as painters and that no one ever follows any of their paintings should not be in painter categories at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:24, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
