Lack of citations Nipsonanomhmata ^(Talk) 15:38, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Keep While I would agree with Nipsonanomhmata on the stub articles nominated above, "lack of citations" does not appear to apply in this case. [http://www.martinoski.mk/mk/life.html]. Where there are citations, the issue becomes whether there is (a) an assertion of notability within the article and (b) an assertion supported by reliable, independent and verifiable sources. In any case, the issue on topics is "lack of notability"-- and there is no lack of notability on Nikola Martinoski. [http://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&tbo=1&q=Nikola+Martinoski&btnG=Search+Books]. It's always a good idea to be certain before making a nomination-- it's a lot quicker to Google than it is to nominate an article. Mandsford 16:27, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Comment There is a lack of notability ^^ in English. And isn't that what matters for English Wikipedia? Yakushima (talk) 17:15, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

::: I don't think we have a "notability in English" policy. The English language Wikipedia doesn't confine itself to people, places and things that are popular in English-speaking nations, and if that was the criterion for "what matters", then it wouldn't be Wikipedia.

:::: No, but translations should be provided for english readers on request, especially if the whole article is hung from that one cite--ThePaintedOne (talk) 19:48, 3 February 2011 (UTC).

Keep needs a ref improve (which it already has a tag for) but from the citations provided I think Notabillty is demonstrated.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 19:49, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Keep - Copious returns off a Google search, just in English. Seems to be a recognized master artist of Macedonia, with extensive museum placements of his work. Biography of a historical figure (1903-1973), not a spammy self-promotional piece of a current working artist. Carrite (talk) 18:48, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
