Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Luca Cancellari
Greek encyclopaedias should as much |reliable sources as English language works.  What we have here is a scholarly argument as to the correctness of the encyclpaedia entries.  I have to say that I am sceptical.  A Greek-based artist would be unlikely to sign in Latin.  His name is Latin - Luke the Chancellor.  In England, the chacellor is an officer within a Cathedral chapter, who acts as judge of the diocesan consistory court.  I presume it is the same in Italy.  If so, the obvious implication is that Luke was Chancellor of Bologna.  Icons (such the signed one) are a Greek phenomenon, rather than a Latin one.  Is it possible that Luke was a Greek exile in Italy, who rose in the church hierarchy there?  In a land devoid of icons, he painted one for his own devotional use? That is my theoiry and thus OR.  Nevertheless, we '''do''' have a picture with his signature on it.  Whatever the scholastic theories have been built around that fact, attributing other works to him, that fact cannot be denied.  It may be that the encyclopedias are guilty on invention, and that the attribution of other works is incorrect.  If so, the nom may like to edit the article to add some skepticism to the claims.  Not being a Byzantine or an art historian, I am not qualified to do more than guess
