Deformations of Nodal K\"ahler-Einstein Del Pezzo Surfaces with Discrete   Automorphism Groups
  In this paper we prove that generic small partial smoothings of Kahler-Einstein (KE) Del Pezzo orbifolds with only nodal singularities, and with no non-zero holomorphic vector fields, admit orbifold KE metrics which are close in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense to the original KE metric.
