Artist of dubious notability, with little coverage in reliable sources. Most mentions I can find are local coverage in the New York City area, or references to a WP:ONEEVENT lawsuit. Author removed prod multiple times without addressing the concerns, suggesting a possible COI. ~Amatulić (talk) 16:55, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. The "references" added were actually just C.V.'s, which do not qualify as references per WP:BLPSPS, and a link to a page about an exhibition, which does not have any citable information. I edited the article, and moved them to the more appropriate "External links" section. At this point, it is still an unreferenced BLP. —Josh3580talk/hist 17:05, 18 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Dear all, I added sources and references as you could see. I can do more if necessarely. Is it then possible to remove the delation post? --Lucilulle (talk) 15:08, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep -- depth of shows at major museums and galleries, including a commissioned work by MoMA in their tempo exhibit, passes the GNG for artists. Most of the exhibition catalogs include far more than passing reference. (The link to the MoMA show and others moves it from unreferenced BLP even if notability concerns are not addressed). -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 03:18, 23 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. Article is written like promotional material. Only article online I could find from neutral source is that he allegedly ripped off another art dealer, but the article makes no mention of this. Two listed online sources for the article have no coverage of Latamie either (first one doesn't even has name listed, other one only has name listed under a very large list of contributors). Don't think it comes close to meeting requirements of WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST. Of the four criteria, Latamie only comes close to #4: "The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums." Article claims (without citation) that he has had some temporary works, but that simply isn't sufficient per WP guidelines. mikeman67 (talk) 02:12, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Only weak sources. If you could add the "allegation" (if properly reported by a reliable and balanced secondary source) this could increase notability. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:46, 26 February 2014 (UTC).
