I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (biographies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Ser2koc (creator, WP:SPA, self-identified as subject of the article-> WP:AUTOBIO) with no rationale. All I see is minor coverage (not in-depth), some awards that don't clearly establish notability, and no better sources (I looked).

 * Delete instead as there are no actual museum collections or at least art reviews and that's what gets an acceptable article here. SwisterTwister   talk  07:52, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Note Actually it's not. WP:ARTIST has 4 criteria and permanent museum collection is just one of them. As a recipient of major award and participating artist in many significant exhibitions as well as having solo exhibitions in many first ranked museums, he's passing is with WP:ARTIST's 4(b), 4(c).

 * Delete copied from http://servetkocyigit.net/cv.html There is almost nothing worth saving, although the subject has particpated in exhibitions that may satisfy WP:ARTISTMduvekot (talk) 21:55, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Note I've made some edits, improving the article and as I wrote in comment below, he's passing WP:ARTIST criterias 4(b) and 4(c). Arthistorian1977 (talk) 14:12, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree that he can pass WP:ARTIST, I'm just really uncomfortable with the subject himself just posting his CV on Wikipedia and getting away with it. That kind of behavior doesn't deserved to be tolerated. A complete rewrite and a COI statement from the subject would be in order. But if we limit the question to "is the subject notable", then yes, he is. KeepMduvekot (talk) 16:57, 27 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep He does not have permanent museum collections, but he is passing WP:ARTIST with references below. There are a lot of contenporary artists, especially working in the field of Installation, Performance Art and Mixed Media are not part of permanent collections by the nature of their art and current trends in museology, when a lot of contemporary arts museum and galleries prefer to operate as spaces for temporary exhibitions instead of amassing collections. He had shows in Israel Museum in Jerusalem, Haifa Museum of art, Torun center for contemporary art, Herzliya Museum Of Contemporary Art and some other European public galleries.

 * Additional note. He received Shpilman International Prize for Excellence in Photography at the Israel Museum which is main photography prize in Israel and alone grants passing WP:ARTIST: . Arthistorian1977 (talk) 17:01, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Question. Is being exhibited in a well-known biennale, such as Venice or New York, sufficient for WP:CREATIVE? Bearian (talk) 14:14, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, usually those who are absolutely unknown do not get to Venice biennale. So, you can definitely get some more things to pass WP:CREATIVE. As for NY, it depends which of them, there are quite many. If this is biennale at Whitneys, the answer is the same Arthistorian1977 (talk) 14:28, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
 * It depends. If an artist is selected to represent a country at the Venice Biennale with a solo exhibition in the national pavilion, then that would make them notable. It should be noted however, that not all who exhibit at the Venice Biennale meet the criterion of having "been a substantial part of a significant exhibition". Aperto, for example, while a significant exhibition, shows "emerging" artists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mduvekot (talk • contribs) 00:55, December 29, 2016 (UTC)
