- Keep The article meets the criteria of notability. I have inserted information, referenced to the secondary reliable sources, supporting the criteria of notability. Note, that this kind of information, was repeatedly deleted from the article. Instead of reliable sources, references to self-published material were inserted. One person has repeatedly removed links to secondary reliable sources and inserted links to self-published materials. This is against Wikipedia policy.

- Keep - According to Wikipedia criteria, this article definitely passes the criteria of noticeability. Scaleshombre is engaged in vandalism via trying not once to insert abusive material into this article, based upon his rejection of the subject's views on history, and now filed the unjustified claim for the deletion of the article.

- Keep - While it's unclear if any one of her pursuits would pass any of the more specific notability criteria, I'm seeing more than enough sources in total to support passing GNG. --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:54, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment. I hope this article will get some attention from editors who are experienced in the evaluation of Russian sources and topics; to my less-experienced eye, some of the sources look a bit peculiar, and the article has had some history of aggressive back-and-forth editing. --Arxiloxos (talk) 07:00, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- Delete It looks like most of the sources are self-publsihed by the subject of the biography. That may comply with the letter of WP:BLPSELFPUB, but it doesn't make the person notable. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 19:51, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Malik Shabazz -- (Personal attack removed) There are only three self-published sources in the list of 28 references, and this references were not inserted by me, sophiedookh, the author of the article. User talk:sophiedookh 4:01, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

- Delete. I tried, but I couldn't scrape together enough reliable sources to give me reason to believe she passes the GNG or the artist guidelines. I don't see major expositions or endowed chairs or important fellowships, or even reviews published in reliable sources--except for one from The Brooklyn Rail, which I added to the article. The article is problematized from both sides--no, from three sides: one editor seems to wish to promote the subject but fails to add reliable sources (note the many, many incomplete notes with missing bibliographic information, the video links, the blogs, etc.), and another appears intent on poisoning the well by focusing--unduly--on the subject's own blog, which features some rather ridiculous conspiracy theories. But that has little to do with her art and isn't remarked on by anyone but herself, and thus should be excluded; unfortunately it is likely to attract editors with a distaste for distasteful material who could just vote "delete" just to get rid of her. And the subject herself is of course the third side: hard to imagine someone less sympathetic than a person who claims that the ISIS beheading videos were photoshopped by Obama, or whatever; never mind the, ahem, racial theorizing, the phrase I use instead of a BLP violation.
Anyway, I just can't find the material to prove her notable, and have no option but to vote "delete". Drmies (talk) 03:23, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- ? It looks like, if you analyse the history of editing this article, that the author of the article did not insert the references to Caesa'r blog, which are not relevant here. Somebody else inserted this reference without realising the nature of Caesar's work. Editors should take into consideration that Caesar is a conceptual artist and defines her art as absurdism and ideological provocations. For editors to become critics of Caesar's absurdism is beyond the scope of wikipedia, as it seems.
- Delete per Drmies. I don't see notability given the sources. Its not enough to have"sources". Sources themselves have to indicate notability. (Littleolive oil (talk) 06:12, 7 October 2014 (UTC))
- Keep With today's large expansion of the article, I believe there are enough sources discussing Caesar and her work to make her notable. --NeilN talk to me 14:25, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- Comment (edit conflict) (x3) - Drmies - I'm confused about the sourcing problem. Disregarding the list of sources cited, even, and just doing a quick search it seems like I've found an awful lot. She's into self-promotion, that's for sure, but there's not a problem finding sources that cover her in depth that aren't self-published. Just going down the list that she put together herself at her website, it's clear [to me] that any sense of her not being notable would be due to the language barrier.
- It looks like she's had her work shown at some well-known Russian and American galleries (Moscow's Museum of Modern Art, Moscow State Institution of Culture, Chelsea Art Museum, Columbia Univesity)
- nominated and interviewed for The LomonosovArt prize (though I don't know what that confers)
- had a number of television outlets cover or interview her (RTV, NTV-America, some documentary about her that aired on a couple Russian TV stations, a few interviews on St. Petersburg TV, etc.)
- has enough credibility to interview big names in Russian museums
- press about her: Lady Boss (magazine), review Haberarts (eh), The Birch (eh), Svoboda interview, RussianMind, Brooklyn Rail, Portal Credo, Voices of America, RUNYweb...
- Some of these sources are so-so, but even a google translate will show they're substantial/in depth -- and these are just the flattering ones she links on her website. Something tells me that having achieved a certain level of success, when considering some of her opinions, there's probably some negative press out there too. She seems to easily pass the bar for GNG/BIO. Oh, also, while it's a primary source, of course, she's been published by The New Yorker and given talks at some prestigious universities. There are big problems with the article and its most active editors seem to have some POV issues, but I don't think it should be deleted. --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 14:45, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- User:Rhododendrites, I can only go on what I know, and it ain't Russian. It is possible that Lady Boss is a legit journal (but you're linking to a likely copyvio and you should consider removing it). I've already added the Brooklyn Rail thing and commented on it (yesterday). Haberarts--who is John Haber? This is someone's web site and there is no indication it's reliable or worth noting. The Birch is an undergraduate journal, and those are typically out. Russian Minds is a blog--and I find nothing more about them than "RussianMind is the part of Russian Media Solutions", so I have no idea what their reliability or editorial policy is. What is "http://www.portal-credo.ru"? What is "svoboda.org"? Whatever they are, they don't look like reliable publications. So while I appreciate the effort, I'm not convinced (except maybe by the Lady Boss thing, which looks to be something). As for being interviewed in various media or speaking somewhere--yes, one can gather that this means she means something, but it's hardly as strong as printed information about the person in reliable media. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 19:35, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- User:Drmies It looks like "Russian Mind" is not less reputable than "Brooklyn Rail". John Haber is a well-known art critic in New York, working for the Oxford University Press. "svoboda.org" is a major American Radio Station "Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL)", a broadcasting organization that provides news and information which broadcasts in 28 languages to 21 countries with corporate offices in Washington, D.C, created through the efforts of the National Committee for a Free Europe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Free_Europe/Radio_Liberty Caesar also gave interview to the "Voice of America" --the official external broadcast institution of the United States federal government.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_America

- Delete: Like Drmies above, I also could not find enough material in reliable independent secondary sources to justify writing an article, and none of that indicated that the subject was in any way notable in accordance with any of our guidelines. We need a lot more meat than this to justify an article. I don't see anything saving or merging. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 02:15, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
- Delete there's nothing in the english-language sources to support notability and none of the Russian language sources appear to be on line, but I note a conspicuous lack of a ru.wiki article. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:12, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
