Comment: Does not seem to meet NARTIST at this time. More than one source does not mention him at all. Why is this called Riv Bulgari 2 rather than just Riv Bulgari? Oh I see, there are two submissions on him, the other is Draft:Riv Bulgari. One of these should be deleted. Netherzone (talk) 16:11, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: Some of this doesn't read very neutrally, e.g. "Bulgari further developed his artistic language through experimentation with diverse techniques and conceptual frameworks associated with contemporary art" & "His painting incorporates both abstract and figurative elements, with an emphasis on surface texture and expressive use of color relationships". Please also properly cite your sources with ref tags rather than just putting in text; see Help:Referencing for beginners. Rambley (talk / contribs) 11:52, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
