Cosmina Ene

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

She may or may not be notable - there are claims that may make her notable, but alas, no inline citations or ability to ascertain the veracity or any of those statements. As a recent WP:BLP, we need to have sources or the claims of notability or any other content ought be deleted and there we'll have a bio without claim of notability.

Procedural Keep: I reviewed this AfD filed by the nom yesterday, and found a blizzard of high quality, substantive sources (including the Boston Globe, the Washington Post, Rolling Stone magazine, the Associated Press and Newsweek), demonstrating that the nom didn't make the slightest effort to source the article, as WP:BEFORE requires he do before filing an AfD. I checked his contribution history, and found to my shock that in the course of over five hundred edits he made over the last two days, he filed the astonishing number of 51 AfDs, some of them as little as three minutes apart.
Many of them are as deeply flawed as this one. The nom is badly mistaken in his implication that inline citations are a requirement to sustain an article, and completely mistaken in his statement that the article lacks sources. Did he not look at the freaking article? There are several sources listed in the "References" section. WP:V explicitly permits non-English sources, and if the nom cannot read French, he should seek a translation from another editor as per WP:NONENG. Ravenswing 04:42, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete, on the basis I can't see a "blizzard of high quality, substantive sources" using Google.com or Google.fr for Cosmina Ene. The article is sourced to some gallery catalogues and an auctions listing magazine (La Gazette de l'Hôtel Drouot). I'd hazard a guess that this PUFF article was written by someone linked to her gallery/agent. If there's a "Blizzard" of newspaper and magazine sources (well, two or three would do) then let's hear about them. Sionk (talk) 01:09, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I tried searching the websites of Washington Post, Rolling Stone, Newsweek, and Boston Globe but no results. I have no idea how Ravenswing found any mention of Cosmina Ene there. How did you do it? - Takeaway (talk) 14:51, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Neither you nor Sionk really read my comment, is the answer. The first paragraph not only fairly plainly refers to a different AfD, I even linked to that AfD. I stated, definitely plainly, that I had found this incredibly flawed AfD, researched the nom's recent AfDs, and found quite a few others just as flawed, among which I numbered this one.

I read your comment, thanks. You have to admit that !voting "Keep" on the basis of notability of an unrelated article is a bit leftfield. It suggests (probably unintentionally) to the casual reader that this AfD suffers similar problems. Comments here should be about Cosmina Ene, shouldn't they? Sionk (talk) 12:43, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Aha! "This AfD" actually meant "another AfD". - Takeaway (talk) 23:23, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Also tried searching in French language websites but no notable (hardly any) results beyond the few refs in the article. Although she does have seem to have exhibitions, apparently no reliable sources write about this artist. - Takeaway (talk) 15:54, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
