Mito Canova

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Puff piece: reads like a Vanity Fair profile or something, and the only substantial claim to fame - that he's "one of the richest living italian [sic] artists" - appears to be entirely false. (Or, if it's true, the bar's pretty damn low.) Delete as cruft failing WP:CREATIVE.  — Francophonie &#38; Androphilie  ( Je vous invite à me parler  ) 23:33, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Amended. See below. — Francophonie &#38; Androphilie  ( Je vous invite à me parler  ) 00:46, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails notability per WP:ARTIST. Also, most of the sources listed for the article do not seem to actually reference the subject. - MrX 23:58, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Agree with MrX that the subject would appear to fail WP:ARTIST. Beyond that, wealth ≠ notability in my opinion. Stalwart 111  00:06, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO with no sustained editorial coverage.--Nixie9 (talk) 05:01, 19 December 2012 (UTC)''
 * Minor update. Shortly after I nominated this page, the apparent single-purpose account removed the false claim to which I'd made reference. To be honest, if it hadn't included that claim, I might've tried for speedy deletion under the A7 (no notability) criterion. I'm not going to move to do that now, since it looks like this AfD will be concluded within the next few days, but I'd like to note that as currently stands, I don't believe this article can rightly be said to even include an asertion of notability, much less any evidence therefor. —  Francophonie &#38; Androphilie  ( Je vous invite à me parler  ) 00:46, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
