Viktor Mitic[edit]

Contested prod. Other than cleanup and wikification, the article has only been edited by the subject himself. When I found it, it was a carbon copy of www.viktormitic.ca. I tried to clean the article up a few days ago but my changes were mostly reverted. I can't find much about this artist, and I don't think it meets the notability standard.

I agree. The author of the article was no other than Viktor Mitic himself. He lacks notability; and has no sources; and is probably telling lies about himself anyway. Definitely delete; and please: immediately. Meldshal 42 20:06, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AGF. Still, no notability, no claims of notability. Delete. Corvus cornix 20:25, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete insufficiently notable, trying to promote his art business. StudierMalMarburg 20:28, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The author of this article doesn't appear to be very noteworthy, and has essentially posted an autobiography to Wikipedia. If anything, this should be moved to a userpage, it doesn't have any place in the regular namespace. ClarusWorks 20:34, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for non-notability, probable COI, and blatant POV: "If you look deeply enough into Viktor Mitic’s hectic new paintings, which seem always to be in the throes of being born from the boards upon which he builds them (he doesn’t use canvas), you will perhaps be able to see all the way back through time to the days of a rigorous, professional art training he once received in his native Serbia." Oh, and did I mention extremely poor writing? --Nonstopdrivel 00:56, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
