Yaacov Kaufman


Non-notable designer as per WP:Notability, no awards, not known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique, does not have a significant or well-known work or collective body of work, and not widely recognized. Sowny (talk) 16:19, 24 September 2020 (UTC) Withdrawn, given the improvements in the article.An independent source is still needed for the Sandberg Prize though - the current source is the designer's website which is not sufficient.

 * Comment. Umm, about "no awards", the article already lists the 1989 Sandberg Prize. Also, his profile page at the Information Center for the Israeli Art at the Israel Museum lists a bunch of other awards. I didn't try to verify them but I'm assuming they are legit.

 * an independent source for the award should be added to the article.Sowny (talk) 16:09, 27 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep Meets WP:NARTIST 4. (d): in several museum collections. I added a section for them, with sources.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 07:23, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. A quick further search found this page at the Israel Museum with more detailed info about his 2003 his Norwegian Design Council Award for Industrial Design Excellence award for "Arketto" light. The page begins with: "Yaacov Kaufman came to Israel at the age of twelve and is one of the most important designers and educators in Israel today." One needs go no further. Clearly satisfies WP:CREATIVE. Not sure what the deal was with this nomination in the first place, but I suggest that it be withdrawn. Nsk92 (talk) 07:37, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:CREATIVE, works held in multiple collections ie. Tel Aviv Museum of Art - here, the Israel Museum - here, Design Museum Holon - here, and here. ps. apologies for being slower than editors above:), and thanks to those that have improved the article.

 * nice finds, I added the Tel Aviv Museum to the article. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 08:00, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable with plenty of solid sources. No reason for deletion.Geewhiz (talk) 08:57, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:CREATIVE as explained above. Poor nomination that should be withdrawn. TJMSmith (talk) 14:17, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep won well-known and significant awards, has a significant and well-known body of work and is widely recognized as an important and influential designer. Vexations (talk) 14:58, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
