[edit] The Da Vinci Code paintings

It is a personal essay of a speculative nature. KindOfBlue 12:22, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. It appears to be an informed (if unencyclopedic) treatment of some of the issues raised by The Da Vinci Code, but these are perhaps best dealt with at the pages dealing with the paintings themselves, as listed at The_Da_Vinci_Code#Facts_and_mythology_behind_the_book. (See, for example, The_Virgin_of_the_Rocks#Use_in_The_Da_Vinci_Code.) It's arguably a valid topic for a new article, but it would need to be completely rewritten, and existing pages edited in order to give a consistent treatment of the topic throughout Wikipedia.

  • I've got the distinct feeling something similar to this has been on AFD before (back when it was still VFD). Could someone look into that? - Mgm|(talk) 22:08, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and redirect to The_Da_Vinci_Code. If people want info on the paintings in the book, they'd be best to go off to the individual pages, and the main article for the Da Vinci Code provides a good start point for this kind of searching Saberwyn 04:07, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete in light of Mgm and Andrew pmk's revelation that the article has been deleted once already. TheMadBaron 05:44, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
