No evidence for notability a/c WP:CREATIVE. No art work in permanent collection of major museum.  DGG ( talk ) 16:41, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

"'Keep"' He is notable. His art work has been published in several prestigious magazines and newspapers of America and Armenia. His work has been kept in various art gallary and museum. Lots of exhibition and workshop has been conducted by himself. Jeeteshvaishya (talk) 17:09, 28 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Question: in what galleries or museums has his art been kept, and what's the evidence?  DGG ( talk ) 09:31, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Delete - His work is mentioned all over the net, and on self-published sites, but as for articles about him in reliable sources I was only able to find this one article. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:29, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Answer - Sir You can find thse things in his official website.

Keep - His work is widely published in several art magazines and newspapers. Collection of his paintings can be found in several gallerias and museums in USA. his initiative Art To Thank is widely appreciated. Artist is notable. His page should be not deleted. I tried to add more about him and tried to improve the article. Thank you. --Jeeteshvaishya (talk) 16:22, 29 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I still see no reference to the work being in any major museum's permanent collection.  DGG ( talk ) 18:56, 30 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Info can be found in his official website. Well, I have added some links to the page. I'm trying to improve the article. Thanks--Jeeteshvaishya (talk) 12:27, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete I see no evidence that this painter meets WP:ARTIST, and in particular, no evidence that his paintings are part of any museum collection. I also see no significant coverage in any publication with a reputation for serious coverage of contemporary art. The references include low quality sources and passing mentions, such as listings of his name in advertisments for local art shows. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  23:53, 5 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 01:11, 6 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. Magnolia677 (talk) 02:43, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep As per rationales by Jeeteshvaishya and Indianbloomer.    WordSeventeen (talk) 03:12, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete looking at WP:ARTIST I think this misses the mark for notability. Bryce Carmony (talk) 07:12, 6 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Mher is well known for his painting dedicated to Armenian genocide. As no other artist in the world doesn't do the project through traveling show in Art to raise awareness about the Genocide. These things are which make him different from other painters. --Rahul 10:42, 6 April 2015 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ratunj Tripathi (talk • contribs)  — Ratunj Tripathi (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Note Here WP:ARTIST, it mentions, "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique." This fits for Mher Khachatryan as his many work is dedicated to Armenian Genocide and veteran US army soldiers.--Rahul 11:00, 6 April 2015 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ratunj Tripathi (talk • contribs)
 * Reply Many artists depict U.S. military veterans. Please provide a reliable, independent source that gives significant coverage to this artist's portrayal of the Armenian genocide. Has any museum shown a themed exhibit of his work in this area? Where is the coverage? Cullen328  Let's discuss it  21:57, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not pass WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST. There are no reliable sources, only trivial mentions. None of the keep !votes base their arguments on Wiki guidelines/policy.  freshacconci  talk to me  13:30, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
