The artist Athanasio Celia does not appear to be notable, due to the absence of multiple, non trivial references, published by reliable sources. Bus stop 02:33, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, had his 15 minutes of fame and a dedicated small fan base, but I fail to see anything that would make him meet WP:BIO Alf photoman 14:04, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Articles must establish notability through achievements or external coverage, and furthermore must provide validation through verifiable references. There are 3 refs - 2 to Youtube, which is not acceptable, and 1 to a Greek site. I have asked for a translation. However, 1 ref is not enough. If Alf photoman's comment that he "had his 15 minutes of fame" is true, then we should keep the article, as once notability is achieved, it is not removed as far as our purposes are concerned. Suspect WP:AUTO also. Tyrenius 01:04, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article in Ta Nea is a one-incher that announces Celia's new exposition (1998) while using most of the space to complain about the prices (as far as my Greek goes as resident of the country). Alf^Photoman 23:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, this was not an easy decision, because on the one hand there were the 15 minutes of fame I mentioned above, on the other hand the 15 minutes did not produce a evident notability or a lasting contribution to art Alf^Photoman 00:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
