Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aung Soe Min
re {{u|Phyo WP}}'s reply to my "Strong Keep" above:Thank you, Phyo WP, for your efforts to ensure that articles satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria. We need people like you to ensure that Wikipedia does not become a platform for self-promotion or puffery. However, I disagree with your interpretation of the notability criteria in this case. Consider, for example, the BBC article we were discussing ({{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-34476284|title=Myanmar: The art of doing business in a country in transition - BBC News|publisher=bbc.co.uk|accessdate=2017-07-17}}) with regard to the general notability guideline. You claim that the subject of this source is the gallery, not Aung Soe Min. However,  clearly states that "''Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.''" I do not regard the BBC article as a "trivial mention" of the man, and the question as to whether he is the main topic of the article is not a WP criterion. (Incidentally, I also think that trying to draw a distinction between a person and their work is also questionable – to imply that what they have created may be notable, but the person who created it is not.) The abundance of other sources quoted above that are more than a "trivial mention" lead me to the conclusion that, despite the points you make in your reply, I maintain my original conclusion of "Strong Keep". I should add that I have no connection with Aung Soe Min, the Pansodan Gallery, {{u|Domslice}} or anyone else associated with this article. I simply stumbled across it when tidying up new articles
