Josef Wagner (painter)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Very tricky sourcing problem, unable to find reliable secondary sources which provide coverage of this Czech artist, not to be confused with 19th century and earlier-20th century artists, such as the 1901-born sculptor of the same name. There are some non-trivial claims that certainly go towards notability if they can be verified, but at present this is a long-term unreferenced BLP. joe deckertalk to me 17:09, 5 May 2011 (UTC) Withdrawn (see below)  --joe deckertalk to me 20:32, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment I've added an Interwiki to the Czech equivalent page, which in turn led to the National Library database where the Louis Mossot authored catalogue could perhaps go some way to confirming notability. But not finding much else. AllyD (talk) 20:03, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep IOn the assumption that the article was written in good faith by a one-article editor who knew something about the artist, I googled:"josef wagner" Holešovice.  (since the article states that he was known for work portraying this city with a unique name) the search  produced 357 very persuasive hits.   Mostly in Czech, but, just scanning the first page,  also an intervidw on a French radio program.  Keep and hope for improvement.I.Casaubon (talk) 17:43, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Withdraw as nom -- Nice job adding those sources, the French source in particular is substantial, bravo!  --joe deckertalk to me 20:32, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
