article fails to establish notability - article fails WP:GNG - the entire text of the article is taken from the website of the BLP subject and thusly constitues copyright violation. Amsaim (talk) 02:03, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did you follow WP:BEFORE, or just (incorrectly) judge notability on the basis of the current state of the article? I found another reliable source here (not much, but it's something). She's Lebanese, so be careful also to avoid the bias against non-Western or non-English sources. postdlf (talk) 13:28, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Kiki Bokassa seems to be a notable Lebanese artist (she is known not only because she is a daughter of the former Central African Republic president Jean-Bedel Bokassa). I found this report by Agence France-Presse and another review of her exhibition by Iloubnan. This, along with the source cited above by User:Postdlf, suggests that it is possible to compile a decent article about her and her work. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 15:47, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - seems to be quite notable, judging by the English language coverage provided so far in iloubnan.info and (particularly) The Daily Star. Sionk (talk) 01:10, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I expect the text on Bokassa's website was copied from the article in Iloubnan. I've re-written the article, removing the promotional fluff and gobbledegook art-speak. IMO it is now a perfectly acceptaable stub that is very well supported by reliable news sources. Sionk (talk) 01:42, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Agreed. Good work, Sionk, thank you. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 07:04, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the above found sources. postdlf (talk) 19:40, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
