Guy Ullens

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Still nothing actually confidently convincing for his won notability, the FrenchWiki is basically symmetrical with no other convincing signs, my searches so far have found nothing noticeably better; having "one" of the largest collections art is still not convincing....in fact, nothing here is. Notifying who has a long history with such articles including one recently of which was a major AfD. SwisterTwister  talk  05:18, 16 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment: I created this page as I really believe the community might be inspired by Guy Ullens. I know Wikipedia's rules regarding living persons and I don't want to play against them for sure. This person have done a lot of notable things for this world to be a better place. Guy Ullens created the first non-profit art center in China in November 2007 (and it's really something to notice as per the given context of the economic and political environment at that time). For the past six years, UCCA had worked with more than 100 artists and designers to present 87 art exhibitions and 1,826 public programs to over 1.8 million visitors, including many important leaders from all over the world.
 * He also created 2 orphanages in Nepal, helping hundreds of kids not to stay and die in the streets. He then created a school to help Nepalese kids (more than 1000) to have a future and even an international diploma. It might be a personal sentiment, but Guy Ullens is not a "common" person or the world would be a better place for sure :)
 * Don't want to compare of course but why this person will be less relevant than those once? (this question is not an attack, it's also a "learning curve" question for contributors like me) : Kristian Aadnevik, Aadhi Pinisetty, Gerard Aafjes, Sean Aaberg. --Ichabry User talk:Ichabry 14:30, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Other stuff exists. Sam Sailor Talk! 03:07, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. I'm willing to accept some degree of notability here. He's head of a major business, and has engaged not just in spending money on miscellaneous contributions but to the founding of a very major one indeed--a major national arts center. (Of course the arguments for including this based on its inspirational value or his personal merit are not relevant to an encyclopedia, which is no judge of either. I'm not however willing to delete merely because of  these bad arguments of the author of the article.) But it will need rewriting.  DGG ( talk ) 02:24, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * This one can, I believe, be better referenced to more sources, and I presume those sources I have so far seen, will make him pass GNG/BAISC. Does want to join the rewrite? Sam Sailor Talk! 09:32, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. A heteroclite amount of sources are available, clearly making him pass GNG/BASIC in astronomical height, below are a few:

 * And you could continue piling on the whole evening. The amount of available, reliable sources, with significant coverage is so staggering here that such nominations are what make AfD a farce. Sam Sailor Talk! 19:55, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art is unquestionably notable, and a separate article about its founder seems like a good idea. Given that he is no longer directly involved with the UCCA, adding biographical details about him to the UCCA article would be inappropriate. Mduvekot (talk) 01:56, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
