Non-notable craftsman. Winged Blades Godric 13:51, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Excelled in the carving of various artifacts including picture frames and scientific and musical instruments. His various works are covered in numerous sources in English and there will be more to find in Italian and Dutch. Andrew D. (talk) 14:36, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep if he was notable back in his own day, he is still notable now. If you want to find sources, try clicking on one of the links in the "Find sources" column. Lepricavark (talk) 16:16, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, I fail to find a single of your so-called sources discussing the subject non-trivially.Existence≠Notability. Winged Blades Godric 16:26, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * That's your interpretation. I refuse to believe than a non-notable carver from several hundred years ago would have obtained so many "trivial" mentions. Non-notable people tend to be forgotten after a few hundred years have gone by. Lepricavark (talk) 16:32, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Notability is a guideline rather than a policy because there is no exact threshold. In practise, many reference works have brief entries for people of this sort and there is no requirement for us to have some specific amount of information.  As a lower bar for this sort of topic, my favourite example is Chitty (cricketer).  If he gets in then we should certainly have people like Crosten too. Andrew D.

 * Keep - In my opinion meets GNG; also meets WP:CREATIVE #4 as his mounts and frames support works in major galleries and are, themselves, the subject of discussion (for example, https://books.google.com/books?id=GLC0tGVCOPEC&pg=PA92&dq=%22Vittorio+Crosten%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiU8-ns37DSAhWISCYKHc_lB3QQ6AEIHDAA#v=onepage&q=%22Vittorio%20Crosten%22&f=false).
