[edit] Greatest paintings

Inherently POV, no chance of improvement. Smoddy (_t^g_e^c) 17:33, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete I disagree that this is inherently POV... we have very good well-referenced articles dealing with both the greatest and worst movies of all time. On the other hand, the current article is highly questionable. The artist seems to be real (though obscure), but the title of the alleged greatest painting ever doesn't Google at all besides Wikipedia mirrors. I'd say it's a deliberate hoax at worst, sad attempt to promote an obscure artist/painting at best. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:57, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. The artist might be notable, but the painting definitely isn't. Philthecow 21:11, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
