Misha Frid

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional autobiography of an artist. At first glance, some of the sources look pretty impressive, but digging deeper reveals that many of them are simply advertisements, closely connected sources and trivial mentions. The article seems to fail WP:ARTIST. - MrX 01:38, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Because most of publications were in 1980s, 1990s and 2000s it's hard to find a proof on Internet, but we have magazines with articles on paper. This webpage about Misha Frid is not an advertisement. This is about himself and his career and relations. We've sent photos for receiving permission from Wiki and on these photos you'll find many famous people with whom Misha works (for example, Vladimir Spivakov, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Erte) We hope you will write us how to change this article and not delete this. - User: Isergievskii 07:00, 5 May 2015 (PT)

 * Comment Here is a source not in the article Russian émigré sculptor committed to premise ‘life is so beautiful’. If would post the bibliographic information of the paper articles he is talking about I can try to track them down. Based on what is in the article plus what is available on the web I am leaning towards delete but I will hold off my !vote for a bit so the other sources can be introduced.

 * Delete: not showing sufficient notability. Quis separabit?  21:11, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
 *  Delete Keep but rewrite/stub  - Additional sources provided since nomination show enough to pass WP:GNG and possibly WP:ARTIST (I have not seen enough ARTIST AfDs to have a good grasp of the consensus view on applying it.) The article should be stubbed and/or re-written by a non-COI editor to deal with NPOV and PROMO issues. Full page ads are not RS no matter where they are published! Fails GNG fails CREATIVE.

 * Keep/TNT - NTV profile confirms notability; article needs to be rewritten in non-promotional style —Мандичка YO 😜 21:01, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
 * How does a profile on the website of a closely connected source establish notability? May I ask what notability guideline you are using?- MrX 01:35, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Dear Wikipedia, I've completed the whole article with references. Tell me, how soon wikipedia reviewed it and I'm waiting for the response. Thank you for your attention User: Isergievskii 0:05, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly passes WP:GNG. Needs a cleanup from someone less involved, as it's a bit promotional, but clearly notable enough. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:08, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
