Aleksander Kamensky

• del. Nonnotable Soviet art critic. Vanity article. mikka (t) 17:32, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
  • It was nominated by me in haste without much thinking and i immediately withdrew the nomination and deleted the page. But someone (user:Curps) seems to restore it. mikka (t) 23:13, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
    • See below. You did indeed quickly withdraw the original nomination, and the only reason it was revived was because of confusion caused by the rash actions of LevKamensky today. -- Curps 23:51, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• keep. Notable enough. mikka (t) 23:13, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - notable enough JoJan 17:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Sorry for the AfD deletion. I should have checked the history. - Tεxτurε 22:26, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It is a certain mark of notability to have your book published 13 years after your death (unabridged version of his biography of Marc Chagall) and to have that book presented in a conference room at the Tretyakov Gallery, as per this brief blurb in Literaturnaya Rossiya [1]. Despite the outlandish behavior of User:LevKamensky, this probably meets minimum standards of verifiability and notability... this is not a paper encyclopedia. -- Curps 22:54, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Also, I apologize for the confusion I caused with this nomination. But it seems to be too late. mikka (t) 23:19, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Well, here's the history. You created this AfD page at 17:32 on September 16 and then deleted it less than an hour later at 18:23 on 16 September. Then it was recreated from scratch by LevKamensky himself today at 21:05, 21 September 2005 [2], for the purpose of making various threats. He then made a couple dozen other bogus bad-faith AfD nominations, which got deleted, and this one got deleted along with them (by User:Texture). I looked at the deleted version history, saw you as the original creator and believed it had been deleted in error (not realizing it was a from-scratch recreation by LevKamensky), and restored it. So if there was confusion, I think LevKamensky was responsible for it to a considerable degree through his rash actions. -- Curps 23:48, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep as per user Curps as notable figure in Russian art. Capitalistroadster 23:58, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
