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)
