Haim Mahat

I am unable to find reliable sourcing on this artist to substantiate their notability for inclusion. An online BEFORE finds only his own website, social media a few auction database listings, but none of the significant coverage that we would usually find for a notable artist. Does not pass WP:NARTIST nor WP:GNG. The article is sourced to his own website, and the database listings; the one offline reference can not be found in a Google search, nor on the website itself. Bringing it here for the community to decide. Netherzone (talk) 21:20, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep please note Haaretz source, Mark Reich, Yoram (2016). "Wunder Kid". Haaretz is a noted RS; the lack of availability of sources in English online does not mean there are no sources. (On the contrary as mentioned above). Homerethegreat (talk) 22:29, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I understand what you are saying, however because it is the only reliable source, the content still needs to be verified per WP:V. Also to meet NARTIST and GNG we need more than just that source. Netherzone (talk) 23:34, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * It is possible to put a - more citations needed for verifications template - instead of an AFD. (I apologize for the time it takes me to respond). Homerethegreat (talk) 08:52, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The AfD will run its course, however you can link to reliable sources here. His own website is used as a citation 6 times; ArtMutual is an auction database/user submitted content (primary, not independent); ArtNet (used twice) is an auction database/user submitted content (primary, not independent) - his paints sell at auction for a few hundred dollars; פחות מאלף (Under1000) is a blog/user-submitted social media art selling site (primary, not independent). So whatever you may find could be useful if it is verifiable, independent and a reliable source.
 * I can't find a trace of the Haaretz source online whether I search in English or Hebrew or on the Internet archive Wayback machine; I even tried searching under the author's name in both Hebrew and English. The thing is even if it could be verified, it's not enough to met NARTIST nor GNG. However, it seems pretty clear that he is not notable by Wikipedia criteria. I'm not finding any notable exhibitions, reviews, collections, art historical articles or books, etc. Netherzone (talk) 17:42, 27 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:ARTIST. He has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, or won significant critical attention, or been represented within the permanent collections of any notable galleries or museums. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 02:10, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing WP:ARTIST and the WP:GNG. This one article that is claimed to be on him is not linked on Enwiki and Hewiki. It can't be found on the Haaretz site. Maybe it appeared in Ha-Ir, the regional newspaper of Haaretz for the Tel Aviv region? Some great journalism there, yet unfortunately not online. Also otherwise I found close to nothing. The son is an actor, has a beautiful apartment that was covered in Ynet [i.e. Yediot], where Haim's paintings are on the wall. Surprise surprise and passing mention. That's about it. I did search the national newspaper archives for Israel as well. These are far from complete but we work by RS and V. gidonb (talk) 05:07, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
