Jarko Zavi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Withdrawn Memorial-style page on a Canadian ceramics artist. The page states he was an outsider who did not participate in exhibitions, which rules out many of the WP:Artist inclusion criteria. The only other points for inclusion are a few minor newspaper mentions. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 06:08, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Comment: Per Zavi's notability in the context of Canadian art, see the following:


 * |This lengthy write-up in "A Fine Line: Studio Crafts in Ontario from 1930 to the Present"
 * "Canadian Craft and Museum Practices 1900–1950", Sandra Flood

In addition, Zavi's work has been exhibited at least once posthumously. See here: |"The Gates opens next weekend with a special show" -RHM22 (talk) 00:54, 8 November 2018 (UTC)


 * The book reference is half decent and does go into some depth. if there were more sources like that it would not be a problem... but there aren't more sources as far as I can see. The last item you provided a Quinte West News article published on ISSU, which is a self-publishing platform with no credibility on WP. No idea bout the middle item, as it is just a title and author listing. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 07:34, 8 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep - I have no problem assuming good faith RE: the provided Sandra Flood reference. Multiple reliable sources satisfies the GNG. EnPassant (talk) 22:06, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * When you AGF on the Sandra flood article, do you imagine it as a chapter-length article, or are you assuming a trivial mention of a sentence or less? Just curious.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:04, 9 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep I had a look on newspapers.com and found several paragraph length mentions of his work, from the 1940s (Montreal), 1950s (Western Canada), to the 1960s and 1970s (Ottawa). The Cobourg museum, in the same town where Zavi lived for an extended period beginning circa 1946, states that the National Film Board made two features on his work.

 * Those articles sound promising, and it's always possible that a nominator makes a mistake. Why don;t you include the newspaper.com articles in the article itself? Re the NFB claim, my search of the NFB online collection showed no feature films of his work. Other search results seem to say he might have been "featured", which could mean featured at length, or had his work included in the set of a film.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:54, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I expect that the 'feature' films by the NFB are shorts, probably around 10 minutes or so. Another website said the date for them was 1946. The Canadian Craft and Museum Practices 1900-1950 is in my city library as a reference book, and I might make the trip to see how valuable a source it is.

 * Note I rewrote and expanded the article, and added four new sources. Find-a-grave isn't the greatest source, but it's pretty definitive when you can look at the dates on a headstone. I think the article looks quite a bit better now. Curiocurio (talk) 21:31, 10 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Withdrawn Notability concerns have been allayed by the kind volunteer research and addition of sources by Curiocurio. Thank you.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:43, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
