Create article and Diana_al-hadid[edit]

Non notable. Inter\^Echo 16:13, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Note The two articles, Diana_al-hadid and Create article currently have identical content. Dpbsmith (talk) 16:46, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Speedying the "Create article" version as it's a content fork. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 16:51, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Although she gets 1540 Google hits, only 19 are displayed; the rest are suppressed as "very similar." It appears as if the other 1500-odd are all repetitive content from a Richmond tourist-bureau site that repeatedly featured one art event in its "upcoming attractions." No hits in Google Groups. No hits in Google News. At best, locally notable in Richmond, Virginia. Dpbsmith (talk) 21:37, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Delete, clay-cruft. dbenbenn | talk 00:09, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Article does not establish notability, but this artist is mentioned in at least one journal, making her notable IMO. --Smithfarm
Delete, non-notable. The very idea that every person who was ever mentioned in any newspaper should have an article is laughable. Rick K 08:19, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

Clarification. What you say is true, but it's not what I said. Art journals are not newspapers. In the art world, being mentioned in a trade journal is a sign that one is on the up-and-up. Sorry I didn't clarify this. That said, I'm not familiar with the journal she got mentioned in; maybe the journal itself is not notable. --Smithfarm
