 * Delete - I had PRODed this at about the same time as it was sent to AFD with essentially the same reasoning. --Slashme (talk) 19:18, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment I wonder if someone is around who could do a search for Italian sources? Items like this one look promising, but I cannot judge their quality as I don't read Italian.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 19:13, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * That is an in-depth review of his exhibition, hosted on a relatively respectable-looking art blog, so it does point towards notability, but I'm not convinced that it passes WP:NARTIST yet. It's worth noting that it:Mauro Pipani was speedily deleted last month as a promotional page and a copyvio from his website, but I guess that doesn't really speak to the notability of the artist as such. --Slashme (talk) 20:50, 12 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete Does not meet the notability requirements for artists.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:01, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi! I made the page on Mauro Pipani because he is considered in Italy a great living artist. Among the other he is doing an exhibition in Rome (until 10 July) with Italian and foreign artists such as Warhol, Carlo Carrà , Pistoletto , Mimmo Palladino etc .. http://www.exibart.com/profilo/eventiV2.asp?idelemento=161119

Yesterday I have found this article in English about his art (on page 80). It is an important art magazine. https://www.joomag.com/magazine/startup-1/0063593001463331380?short

His page on Wikipedia Italy was removed because for Wikipedia Italy if an artist doesn’t take part in at least two biennials of Venice is not an artist, regardless of what it is in real life. Thanks anyway for your attention L&#39;uomodisabbia (talk) 10:02, 15 July 2016 (UTC)L'uomodisabbia (talk)


 * Delete I looked at the sources that User:L'uomodisabbia provided, but they do not add up to notability. He has shows in some galleries, but mostly in small communities. I can't find anything that shows that "Startup" is an important art magazine, but I'm willing to be persuaded. Nor can I find anything that would indicate that he is considered a great "living artist" in Italy, but there's a good chance I don't know where to look. The Exibart link doesn't show me anything about him. LaMona (talk) 01:28, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: Startup is extremely badly proofread (to the point that parts of it look like machine-translated text), so it probably falls short of the kind of editorial oversight that makes something a reliable source. --Slashme (talk) 18:23, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
