I hate to do this, but Vartan himself, is not very notable and being the father of someone who is doesn't qualify. No sources anywhere in Google and I could only find his personal website, facebook and SOADFANS article.  SKATER  Speak. 20:39, 16 September 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Weak Delete Agreed that being the father of a high profile individual doesn't qualify you as being notable, the article indicates he created several high distribution art pieces in the form of album art covers, and the art work for interments. There are however no citations for these creations, or independent credit cited for these works. Without good citation, the only verifiable claim to fame is his son.

 * Delete Being related to someone famous doesn't make you notable. Even if RS can be found for the album covers, it still seems to be pushing the envelope when it comes to wiki notability. Whitespider23 (talk) 05:04, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability is not inherited. The article does not make an adequate case that he satisfies WP:BIO. Edison (talk) 05:45, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
