McCaine

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Not notable. There appears to be little to no reliable source information on the person. See, for example, What it comes down to is that there does not appear to be enough reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy to maintain an independent article on this topic. The image of text probably is copyvio. -- Suntag  ☼  21:47, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Sort of defines non-notable. Johnbod (talk) 22:10, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. To be fair, we shouldn't expect a lot of internet sources for an artist from the early 1970's. However, if only his last name is known and there's just about nothing in the way of biographical information on him (assuming it's a him), I'd really need to see a solid source before assuming dead-tree sources are out there.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  22:15, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Further comment on the dead-tree source in the article. The link goes to the table of contents of that issue. Assuming that the article in question is "Art: The Mccaine Influence: Attractive And Functional Paintings On View At Aaron Brothers", it's at most 3 pages long, less any advertising. Current paid circulation of the magazine is 18,011; no way to tell if it was more or less 38 years ago, but this has the ring of an advertising-heavy local magazine and wouldn't be showing any notability outside of the immediate area. This source by itself is definitely not showing notability.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  22:29, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Question. I can't find the artist even mentioned in the first three sources. Am I missing something? The last source is just a general internet query -- if you read carefully, you'll see that the answer was provided by the author of the wikipedia article.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  22:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete I appreciate that some sources were located, and they confirm that there indeed was a painter in the 60s and 70s who signed his or her work "McCaine". However, I don't see anything that suggests that McCaine was, even back then, notable.  The article was created by an editor who has made no contributions before or since, other than a minor change to an existing article.  The artist's name makes the subject somewhat more interesting than it might be otherwise.  Mandsford (talk) 16:50, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
