Grigory Ugryumov[edit]

I haven't found anything on this artist other than a couple trivial mentions and his name in a few artist directories. Seems to fail WP:RS. Wizardman 01:08, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I made sure to do extra research on him when I saw the birthdate. I still didn't find anything about a good deal of looking. Hence my opposition to having a notability tag at all. Withdrawn. Wizardman 21:49, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep I found a biography of him through Oxford Art Online. I'll start adding stuf to the article. Zagalejo^^^ 04:13, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - because of the new source described above. Ostap 05:08, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There's even no need to say Keep, we should've just deleted the notability tag and told this user "if you never heard of this painter, it doesn't mean he is not notable; do a better research". KNewman (talk) 06:03, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not a whole lot at books.google.com or scholar.google.com. The oxfordartonline.com link didn't show anything. However, give that he died in 1823 and his paintings are floating around digitized, there likely is enough info on the topic. Suntag (talk) 08:40, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You need to log in to the Oxford site to actually see anything. (I was able to get in through my public library's website.) Once there, you can browse through a bunch of biographies from the Grove Dictionary of Art. Zagalejo^^^ 08:45, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. When will people finally learn that if a topic doesn't get (m)any google hits (even if it's a google books/scholar search), it does not mean that the subject is not valid and/or notable?
