 * Delete. Very weak references, seems to fail WP:ARTIST notability req. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 22:41, 1 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. Subject is important cause the artist is know for new techniques and concepts that he uses. Article has been updated and third party references have been added (Digital Database of Georgian modern and contemporary artists www.art.gov.ge; Georgian Contemporary Art Portal demo.ge; Karchkhadze Books Shops Chain website. --Kkiissel (talk) 22:16, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete per WP:ARTIST. Looking at the sources added by Kkiissel, #1: art.gov.ge is a "systematic" database of all Georgian artists. The bar for inclusion is thus very low sort of like a phone book of every artist in Georgia not a reliable marker of notability. #2: Saatchi website looks like a combination commercial website and social media site which Giorgi himself maintains - if Giorgi was profiled in their "One to Watch" feature that would be something, but he is not. The source isn't independently notable as is. #3 demo.ge are sources by Giorgi not about Giorgi, thus can't be used to assess notability. And that's it basically, no reliable or indepedent sources available. No profiles in art magazines, no newspaper articles, no exhibition write-ups, etc.. all the typical things one usually finds for notable artists. -- GreenC  16:31, 6 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. art.gov.ge is digital database of Georgian modern and contemporary artists which is initiated by Ministry of Culture and Georgian National Museum. The list of Giorgi's exhibitions is available on this website. Write-ups about Giorgi's exhibitions or published book are available in Georgian printed media, but not in English.  Demo.ge is contemporary art portal managed by a third party. --Kkiissel--Kkiissel (talk) 21:50, 6 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I think you can only vote one time, but your welcome to reply to my vote. The database didn't seem selective, just evidence that he is a Georgian artist, it's a list of all Georgian artists. What is Giorgi's website? Georigan sources are OK since we have Google Translate to verify sources, or if the sources are not online it can be cited anyway. Demo.ge contains material created by Giorgi. -- GreenC  02:02, 7 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete no notability. Jaqeli (talk) 12:54, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
