This is a list of transcluded discussions on the deletion of articles related to Visual arts. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting.
You can help maintain this list by:
- adding new items, by adding "{{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}}" to the top of the list below (replace PageName with the name of the page to be deleted).
- removing closed AFDs.
- removing unrelated discussions.
If you wish, you may also:
- tag discussions by adding "{{subst:delsort|Visual arts}} <small>-- ~~~~</small>" on a new line. You can automate this task by adding {{subst:deltab|Visual arts}} to your monobook.js file. See Template:Deltab for instructions.
Consult WP:DEL for Wikipedia's deletion policy. Visit WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day.
- Simpler tag to put on AfD discussions as an alternative for the one above is {{subst:LVD}} .
This should go above the nom, as it's a formal notice and not part of the debate. - See also

Clearly an autobiography, not notable. Format is a mess, the article has a talk page for a reason. Biased. Vaniac 16:52, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

- Delete autobio and doesn't pass bar of notability. --Etacar11 17:26, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Cantras 17:27, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete unless improved but allow the full 5 days for the author to clean it up and assert notability - nominating an article for deletion four minutes after it was created seems a little harsh. - Iridescenti (talk to me!) 18:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: AfD is often a better way to get articles to improve than just covering them in cleanup tags, and it means that, if it doesn't improve, it will be gotton rid of. J Milburn 19:30, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per everyone else. Acalamari 22:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- AfD is a very effective way of getting to articles to improve, but after cleanup tags have failed to work. It's not the first step. Most of WP articles either have cleanup tags or could well warrant them. Only someone with experience in WP can construct a good article the first shot. If given help, not negative formulaic comments, the article can generally be improved. Then , if the tags are not given any attention, a friendly warning often helps. If a friendly warning doesn't help, then either proposed deletion or AfD is appropriate. But if we wee to Afd all the new articles that needing improvement, we wouldn't have time to work on the articles that really do need discussion. Just as with user warnings, there should be a succession of steps. Frankly, I can think of little that would justify an immediate AfD--if it true junk, then a CSD, if not sure its remediable, then prod. But otherwise, a tag and a chance. And a further comment obn fairness: nobody notified the author!. (I just did) DGG 07:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment My last intention was to be harsh, being that I am not a very expierienced user, I figured that AfD could be used as db tags except on articles that might not be such obvious candidates for deletion. Next time I will certainly tag articles with cleanup tags first, and try to clean them up myself. That being said, this is very obviously an autobiography and there is a WP:COI for that reason. Although now that I do see that it was a bit harsh, Wikipedia isn't a place to "get your name out there". I hope you'll agree. Vaniac 07:48, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Daniel Mirante
Although this article about a visionary artist claims notability, there are no independent reliable sources that substantiate any of the information here, hence this article fails WP:NOTE. Google for <"Daniel Mirante"> (with quotes) finds 59 results, none from reliable sources and all mention the subject very briefly. [1] Search for <"Daniel Mirante" "Journal of Cosmic Play"> gets 5 results - the journal itself, Wikipedia, and a blog. [2] JSTOR, Factiva and LexisNexis turn up no results.

Hello I am considered by many artists within the field as a valuable contributor to the visionary art scene. Right now the visionary art scene is somewhat esoteric, so unless you take the time to research it you may not appreciate my contributution.
I have written the wiki entry on visionary art and many of the practicing artists there have wiki entries. I have added a wiki entry for myself and it appears 'resurgent insurgent' has it in for me for some reason. This entry is simply to contexturise my work within the visionary art scene. I'm not 'self advertising'. Most of the projects I have conducted within the visionary art movement have been to bring more attention to artists in this scene.
I have been published in several journals considered important to the contemporary visionary art scene. These include 'The Visionary Revue' at visionaryrevue.com (check the page to see the high profile of my projects'. The famous visionary artist Oleg Korolev has claimed that the www.lila.info project, run by myself, represents best the current scene as it stands.
I have published several unique interviews with the representatives of the visionary art movement and also produced historical and theoretical contexturisations of the scene. Only two other people, Laurence Caruana and Jon Beinart, are involved in this work.
I am also an apprentice of the famous artist Brigid Marlin www.brigidmarlin.com... she runs the Society for Art of the Imagination, which is considered one of the most important organisations in the visionary art scene. I have written several articles and had work published in the Inscape magazine which is one of the only regular journals to cover the visionary art movement. My membership to ths society can be verified with Brigid Marlin or my work viewed on the societies site.
I have had work published by Elfintome which is the West coast flagship for the visionary art movement.
Basically, I feel foolish by these neccesary self-justifications but I feel my integrity and intention is being questioned by this action to remove my existence from Wikipedia. My work is considered important by people within this fledgling scene, but I can understand from the perspective of someone who knows nothing about this movement that my wiki entry may seem pointless. But is that fair to judge unless someone is aware of this scene in detail ? I don't go to areas of wiki that I know little about and then question peoples relevance or the integrity of their work.

Ok, so looking at the big red signs pasted onto the wiki entry in my name, and surveying the objections to the wikipedia guidelines (which do say "is not set in stone and should be treated with common sense"... and "is a guideline, not a policy", I had my partner the editted wikipedia entry, so it no longer conforms to 'autobiography', nor does it fall under biography because it is not a life review. It is a discussion of a participant in the visionary art scene and is intended to be an informational source on my work.
Just because the 'judges' of this entry may not be aware of the field under discussion here does not give grounds for deletion, since this would be an act of deletion through a prejudice toward subject matter... or rather ignorance of subject matter ... visionary art may be irrelevant to you but this is not the basis on which information should be deleted from wikipedia.
Also, 'lack of reliable sources', I want to know what 'reliable' means as this is not quantified by wiki.
Resurgent Insurgent is wrong about 'lack of reliable sources' - there are several websites (www.elfintome.com, www.lila.info, www.visionaryrevue.com, www.artofimagination.org etc) and publications that carry my work, and I am the apprentice of a painter who is acknowledged as a visionary master artist. What is so unreliable about this ? You may never have heard of my work but the people involved in the scene under discussion have.
Similarly my friend has provided avenues to verify the existence of my art career and writings, which may be of no personal interest or relevance to you, but will be to people interested in visionary art.
Wikipedia has room to grow... it is not a paper encyclopedia. If it is useful to the people concerned with visionary art then let it be !

Quote by Oleg Korolev, visionary art master
"By the way such art enthusiasts as Brigid Marlin ( and her "Society of Art of Imagination"), Jon Beinart ( and this forum) and Keith Wigdor ("Surrealism Now") , Daniel Mirante ( lila.info ), actually represent this movement now ... AND THAT IS ALL...! "

- Delete Well, that's different. He has an IMDB entry, but there's nothing on it! First time I've seen one like that, and I wonder how it got that way in the first place. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:44, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

- Comment - this is film-related only; should it be on the visual-arts related list? I'm reluctant to comment on it & hope the VA list doesn't get filled up with other cinema stuff. Johnbod 19:56, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- Multimedia art is considered "visual art" AlfPhotoman 20:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- the article neither describes nor categorises him as anything other than a film-maker, but I see what you mean from the website. From the Visual arts side, he doesn't seem notable to me (yet), but he might be on the film side. Johnbod 21:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
