Svetlana Reingold

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

GNG Fail. Most mentions of her are of the form "Svetlana Reingold, the exhibit's curator, told...", which is an example of someone doing their job, rather than something that would create notability. There are one of two in-depth sources at most, which is not enough to establish GNG. Curator notability is tricky, as they are usually non-notable people organizing exhibitions and collections of extremely notable persons. Curators can certainly be notable, but in this case the coverage does not meet our requirements of having breadth, not being inherited from another subject, and being in-depth.

 * Keep. Disclaimer - I am an author of the article and I think the following reference are quite broad and in-depth source to establish the notability per WP:GNG, as well as supporting WP:CREATIVE: Curator Svetlana Reingold explores artivism in Haifa's new exhibition, "Dangerous Art",, . Also, in addition being a chief curator of major institution usually shows notability. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 15:25, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * One in-depth source, a Youtube video and an exhibition description page do not come anywhere near close to meeting WP:ARTIST. Having a high-level art job does nothing for notability; you have to undertake activities that generate coverage, by doing something notable. For comparison, have a look at the career of Hans Ulrich Obrist, who is a hugely notable curator. Or Tatzu Nishi, whose article I have been working on and had little trouble finding 40+ more sources to establish his contribution to the field of public art. Both meet WP:ARTIST by virtue of contributions to the field and extensive coverage. In this case though we have barely more than one in-depth source.

 * Youtube video is from Israli news channel, don't underestimate it please. I've also added the following sources in Hebrew, which are in-depth coverage of her specific work:, , , , , , , . Those references are coming from highly reliable Israeli news sources. I am asking you if this may help to persuade you to change your mind. Cheers.

 * Delete per nom. In addition, interviews don't usually count for GNG. buidhe (formerly Catrìona) 15:44, 8 January 2019 (UTC) Changing to no opinion per new sources identified. Verbatim interviews do help show that a person is important enough to interview, but they don't help write an article from an independent-source perspective. buidhe (formerly Catrìona) 07:54, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * <b style="color: White">ui</b><b style="color: White">dhe</b>, I've provided additional references above in hebrew which are not just interveiw, but in-depth coverage of her work. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 15:48, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

<div class="xfd_relist" style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA; padding: 0px 25px;"> Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment I've also added some additional sources as well as official publication to the article. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 16:02, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep To me, interviews can contribute to notability if they are substantive not just asking stupid “what’s your favorite color?” questions.Trillfendi (talk) 17:29, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep curators fall under WP:CREATIVE; notability can be established by the attention given by reviewers and others to the work they do. I added material about exhibitions she has curated.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:54, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - lots of coverage of her work as a curator. RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:38, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
