Deletion of Emil Kazaz

Comment: These links are helpful. All the same, other editors ought to be aware that Amuradyan12 has variously claimed to be a gallery owner and the artist's representative http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Stefan2&diff=prev&oldid=517466925, and a student http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Steel/Archive_15#In_reply_to_your_message, depending on the situation, and has edited previously in AFDs and at biographies of Armenian artists using several accounts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Kiki_%28Artist%29, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Drmies#Removal_of_information_on_.22Emil_Kazaz.22_article..  and  are obvious concerns.

Comment: http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/1997/Aug-31-Sun-1997/lifestyles/5947727.html Las Vegas Review-Journal August 31, 1997 mentions an Emil Kazaz. http://articles.latimes.com/1999/jan/01/local/me-59540 Los Angeles Times January 1, 1999 mentions  Emil Kazaz's "Hang Horse". Not enough for a stand alone article. Batard0 cites more sources, but still does not seem to be enough. I suggest taking all these sources, add the infrmation from them to a draft article, and request that the draft be moved to article space at  or try

Comment: for lack of significant coverage under  and  and other guidelines. I'll examine the sources offered and then do my own search. http://articles.latimes.com/1999/jan/01/local/me-59540 The L.A. Times article cited above is about a group show, with two paragraphs at the end devoted to Kazaz: "One of the most striking pieces in this sprawling show is Emil Kazaz's "Hang Horse," an enigmatic convergence of loose, gangly lines and forms. Fragmented equestrian imagery struggles to take shape in an image that appears unfinished and vaguely surreal. Here, we think less about the medium than about the curious sum effect, as we should." This is not significant coverage, but it's also not coverage at all of the artist himself; it focuses exclusively on his work. http://asbarez.com/69380/artist-emil-kazaz-wants-to-transform-yerevan-and-gumri/ This article is the best argument by far that he's had significant coverage, but it is a short piece that in itself is not sufficient to establish significant coverage, in my view. http://www.mindiaspora.am/en/News/1654 This source is not properly independent because it is the website of a ministry that promotes the Armenian diaspora, of which Kazaz is a member. In any event, the mention is in passing: "Hakobyan visited famous Armenina painter, sculptor Emil Kazaz with the accompaniment of Consul General Grigor Hovhannisyan and awarded him the “William Saroyan” Medal of the RA Ministry of Diaspora". http://agbu.org/pressoffice/article.asp?ID=663 This page has the same kinds of issues: it's an organization that promotes Armenian heritage, and thus is not entirely independent and reliable. http://www.florencebiennale.org/en/epremiati07.php The Florence Biennial awards are not significant awards in the world of art, I think we can agree, and in any event this page is merely a listing of awards and goes into no depth about the artist. http://www.armenianchurchwd.com/news/tribute-to-emil-kazaz/ This Armenian church website does not cover him in much depth and has the same kinds of independence and reliability issues as some of the other sources, given that he's a member of said church. http://www.panarmenian.net/eng/news/84279/ This "article" is of questionable reliability; it's a press release, not independent coverage. A further search for sources turns up his own website, which is not reliable for notability, the website of a gallery that represents him, also not suitably independent, and various other trivial and routine coverage. All in all, I don't think we've established that he has received significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject, as required under
