Natalia Babi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An article about an artist from Ukraine now resident in Florida. The article was so filled with promotional quotes and language I would have preferred to delete on sight (the artist herself has clearly been involved in writing this piece, large amounts were word-for-word copied from her website). I am prevented from speedy deleting it because it makes claims of notability, for example creating a piece of art that "became symbolical in the State of Florida", attracting bids of $100,000 for a piece of work, becoming Ukraine high jump champion etc. Though I can find nothing at all in English (apart from publicity from Whatsellsbest.com) maybe there is something significant in the Russian language...? With my cursory knowledge of Russian I can't immediately see much in reliable sources. Sionk (talk) 22:53, 19 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment It's hard for me to tell, too. There are some site that have information about her here 1, 2, 3, and a magazine that credits a Natalia Babi as art director... but I'm not seeing enough for WP:GNP or WP:ARTIST. I didn't say "Delete" because of Sionk's comment about other potential sources in the Russian language. Based on the content of the article I understand why it was considered for Speedy Delete (reasons stated by Sionk, no citations, etc.)-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 01:18, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete pure promotionalism. Not yet notable--having one work on the cover of a travel booklet is not significant notability. Almost everything else is things she is still doing, but has not yet done. The attempt to write an article with links to the articles on the famous people whom she has painted pictures of is linkspam, and an indicator that the article is intended as promotion, &#39;DGG (at NYPL)&#39; (talk) 20:31, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete does not really establish notability. I would argue it could've even been speedied.  Enigma msg  00:59, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
