Yiannis Melanitis

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No indication of notability. No independent sources. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:25, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Article creator appears to have requested its deletion as well. VQuakr (talk) 16:50, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete He does not appear to meet any of the criteria at WP:ARTIST. Even though he is a "collaborator" at the Athens School of Fine Arts, he is not an instructor, much less a professor. --Bejnar (talk) 17:02, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep for four reasons. (i). I have noted at least one major exhibition of his work. (ii). He was interviewed by the Kathimerini newspaper and a lengthy article published about his exhibition. The interview was by a notable journalist of that newspaper and that indicates notability (at the very least a worthwhile acknowledgement by a notable journalist from a notable newspaper). (iii). When you search for him on Greek Google he is not invisible. He is a notable multi-disciplined artist who appears to be very talented in sculpture and music. (iv). He has exhibited outside his home country. Have tagged the article for rescue.  Nipson anomhmata   (Talk) 21:06, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment The Greek language Kathimerini newspaper article easily meets WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST.  Nipson anomhmata   (Talk) 21:28, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I think that I have done enough work on the article to turn your votes around. Could you take another look. Many thanks.  Nipson anomhmata   (Talk) 22:16, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep The media coverage in the Kathimerini newspaper article, as well as the other sources added by and, confirm that Yiannis Melanitis is notable per WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. I thank you two for saving this article from deletion. Cunard (talk) 10:50, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much Cunard for your kind comments. It was a very nice gesture on your part and it is really appreciated. Take care. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 16:55, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Kathimerini counts as a reliable source. If those who read Greek say he gets coverage in Greek sources, so be it.   D r e a m Focus  17:37, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you Dream Focus. I will translate the in-cite quotations soon for better ease of reference. Dr.K. λogosπraxis  20:01, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
