Albans et al

On a recent wander around St Albans I came across some emotive local war memorials, I've saved them in commons at Category:Canon Glossop Memorials. Hope you are well. No Swan So Fine (talk) 13:21, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Just want to let you know that I did close the above discussion to rename per nom (without the hyphen), which is a pretty conservative consensus overall. Once that goes through you should be free to open up your proposed discussion involving all of the subcats in Category:Language activists. Thanks for the ping! bibliomaniac15 19:20, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

The Editing team plans to change the appearance of talk pages. These are separate from the changes made by the mw:Desktop improvements project and will appear in both Vector 2010 and Vector 2022.

Draft:Pietro C. Marani

I started Draft:Pietro C. Marani but can only find a single source that really gives substantial information on his career. Is that even enough to publish the article? His importance as a historian is undoubtable, so perhaps that sentiment is enough? Not sure. Aza24 (talk) 19:31, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

@Aza24: Sorry for the usual tardy response. I think Marani meets Wikipedia:Notability (academics) § Criteria 1, 6 and 8 – the latter two as president of it:Raccolta Vinciana and editor of its journal. There's a paragraph on him on p. 383 of this very helpful article on Leonardo scholarship up to 2008: Veltman, Kim H. (2008), "Leonardo da Vinci: A Review", Leonardo, 41 (4): 381–388. I'm afraid I couldn't find anything more substantial on him than that biography from a conference's website, but I have found a good quote from Martin Kemp which would help demonstrate his notability: "Pietro Marani, the greatest of his generation of Italian Leonardisti" (Kemp (2018), Living with Leonardo, London: Thames & Hudson, p. 57). Ham II (talk) 08:10, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
Thank you!—Very helpful. Your tardiness in response seems nothing compared to mine :)
Pietro C. Marani is now in the mainspace. I managed to find his full name and birth year, but not a ton else. I agree with your assessment re notability though, we should be good there. Aza24 (talk) 23:39, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
