Krakover Jose

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Very limited notability (a few reports of when his family donated a plaque to a museum) and rather strong but unsupported claims in this biography (one of the first European pioneers in Argentine photography? No, decades later than e.g. Alexander Witcomb, and flashing with magnesium had been known even longer). Not one source in Google Books even mentions him as far as I can tell (e.g. the book "Photography in Argentina" doesn't mention him, even though it has attention for the actual pioneers like Panunzi and Witcomb. If enough sources are found to keep this, it needs a complete rewrite to make it neutral and factual: as it stands, it seems to fail WP:GNG to me.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete. I could not find any coverage that would meet the GNG either. While I recognize that there may be offline sources (e.g. 20th-century Argentine newspapers) that I don't have access to, the lack of coverage in Google Books (as noted by the nominator) makes it seem unlikely to me that any further coverage will be forthcoming. I suspect that the article has inflated this photographer's significance beyond what is warranted by the sources, although I'm certainly glad to reconsider if additional coverage can be identified.

 * Delete and salt as ahistorical nonsense. Photography was a profession in Argentina and everywhere else for 100 years before this person allegedly lived. Sources do not back up the extravagant claims and are not reliable. Bearian (talk) 16:46, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
