Henry Betzalel

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable artist with lack of independent RS to establish GNG or NARTIST. Florence Biennial is a Vanity exhibition. See: User:Theredproject/Predatory Exhibitions and Vanity Galleries. The only source that is even close to being an RS is the Time Out piece which never mentions the artists, and is only about the person represented in the sculpture. The artists' website is offline, and I couldn't find anything. Theredproject (talk) 23:28, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete search finds no WP:SIGCOV. He is mentioned as the sculptor under the name, "Henry Bezalel Tsafir" in this 2014 article in Arutz Sheva Channel 7 and it goes on to say, "one of the most promising sculptors in the new Israeli art scene." which implies he was not notable, even when this work was created. In this 2014 "Scooper" press release (which is not a reliable source but was used as a citation in the related WP article, The Zionist Journey) it reads he was in a lawsuit over his name not being used on the sculpture.
