Contested prod. Unreferenced article about a non-notable artist, failing WP:ARTIST. This search yields only 76 ghits, not all of them relevant, so it's highly unlikely that notability could be established. andy (talk) 09:07, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A misplaced comment (moved from the article):Due of time delay and the fact that I (article author) new in Wikipedia and still don't know how to contact administrator's that proposed deletion, i choose the shortest way to avoid deletion today by removing the date|prod in the beginning of the article - i know it is not the right way to proceed but until i know how to answer in the discussion page or talk page to object the proposed deletion, i opted for this "bad" solution. (not again, promise).

So, about the reason of deletion and my object, please consider the following: first, if you make a research in Google with '"Jacob Feldman" artist' as keywords you will get more answers (1700 in google.com against 164, all the answers on the first page is about him in this research) it may be not enough still but it's more... Second, this artist (Jacob Feldman/Yakov Feldman) expose in many places around the world (mainly Europe, USA and Israel), notable personnality has paintings of him in their private collections. Third, hoping it'll help also regarding notoriety question, he is 'grant cousin of Chagall' (his grandmother was a cousin of the artist). Last, he makes wonderful paintings, original and high technic( I will add some pictures (3/4) if you let me do so ) Best Regards, Daniel Attal.

I'm afraid that (a) if you go through the results of that search page by page you'll find there are actually only 412 hits and (b) many if not most of the hits are for other Jacob Feldmans. There's a tenor, a computer programmer, a guy who wrote a book about property valuation and a whole lot of dead people. And then there's all the hits off facebook, youtube, wikis and the artist's own site. Sorry. andy (talk) 09:41, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete nothing in the google news archives. Notability is not conferred by his relationship to other artists, nor by who collects his work, nor the quality of his work, as good as it is. The external links in the article are unsourced listings of his exhibitions or gallery websites (and thus promotional, and possibly spam). I do not think the one paragraph in the russian article meets the threshold of notability either in the general sense or for artists. --Nuujinn (talk) 23:49, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
