The valid proposed deletion and other tags were removed by a newbie. The creator previously removed a speedy deletion tag. I added tags, and prodded it, in the vain hope that seven days' time would be enough to rescue this unsourced and orphan stub. The material is essentially unverifiable, spam, and/or original research. There may be Italian sources, but I could not find a single source in English Google.

• Delete. Neither in the article nor anywhere else is there any evidence of notability. I can find no mention anywhere at all, apart from this Wikipedia article, of "Venexian Monotype". The first version of the article gave a link to a YouTube video on "Monotipo Venexiano", and a Google search for that expression produced only that YouTube video, and nothing else. I did think it might be a spelling error for "Venetian Monotype", but searching for that revealed that the expression does exist, but it is totally unrelated to the subject of the article. The subject clearly comes nowhere near to satisfying Wikipedia's notability standards. (It may even be a hoax. The article says that the process was invented by Roman Tcherpak. Roman Tcherpak is a not particularly notable photographer, who has gone to some trouble to get publicity for himself on his own web site, a Facebook account, promotional websites, etc, and yet on none of them, as far as I can see, does he mention this process he has supposedly invented. Also, the reliability of the Wikipedia article does not seem very high, as it says that Roman Tcherpak is Israeli, whereas his own account is that he is Ukrainian.)

• Delete. I had the same search experience as JamesBWatson. No coverage found in anything resembling a reliable independent source. --Arxiloxos (talk) 14:48, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
