[edit] notability

It is currently unclear whether this artist is notable enough for an article on Wikipedia, since no proper secondary sources are cited. By the notability criteria for biographies, independent reliable sources are required to make sure that the subject is notable. These sources might be, for example, an independent biography of the person, or press coverage in which he is covered in depth.

Currently, the article only points to a text "Piero Mazzi" of unknown origin; in fact, this does not seem to be a published book, at least I was unable to find it via the usual sources. If it is a independent source and not a self-published booklet, please make the reference more precise, e.g. by adding an ISBN number.

Also, I have my doubts whether the museum makes this person notable. First, dedication of a building, etc. to the person is not regarded as a fact establishing notability. Second, if the museum shows work of the artist, then it should be made clear that this museum has received sufficient recognition, say by press coverage in major newspapers. In the current state, there is no evidence in the article that the museum is not only a private, non-notable collection.

Please add more (and reliable) sources to the article. Otherwise it might get deleted from Wikipedia. For the time being, I am resetting the date counter of the “notability” warning tag (old date was October 06). Sorted as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 12:47, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
