Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Visual arts
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Visual arts. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Visual arts|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Visual arts. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.
Archived discussions (starting from September 2007) may be found at:| watch |
For Visual arts listings only:
- A simple tag to put on AfD discussions as an alternative to the coding given above under "tag an AFD" is:
- {{subst:LVD}}
- It displays exactly the same message, but is easier to remember.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Promotionally toned article on a non-notable mother-of-pearl artist. It seems to be part of a possible walled garden on various family members of the Mushi/Munsi family. No indication from the current sourcing nor in a BEFORE search that this artist passes GNG nor meets the criteria for NARTIST. All I found online were WP mirrors.

- DELETE Not notable enough at all for Wikipedia standards. Jaunpurzada (talk) 22:05, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: per nom. Fails WP:NARTIST. All I can find online are trivial mentions in blogs and mirrors of this article, so they also fail WP:NBASIC. C F A 💬 23:14, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Page reads as WP:PROMO. I do not find any source on the subject notable for originating any significant new concept, or created well-known work. RangersRus (talk) 13:22, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Kumkum Munsi (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Promotionally-toned article on a non-notable artist. Possibly COI or UPE as part of a series of promotional articles on the Munsi/Munshi family. A BEFORE did not find independent SIGCOV in reliable sources. Possibly a family history or memorial project? Sourcing does not meet GNG nor NARTIST criteria.

- Delete: Borderline G11, would not object to draftification for an unconnected editor to attempt an article about Munsi's contributions to the Academy, but that alone isn't grounds for notability and I do not see sourcing to pass N:ARTIST although I acknowledge age of his life is in issue there.

- Delete. I have searched a bit on Google Book Search and found nothing to pass WP:GNG. Twinkle1990 (talk) 15:53, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Actually there are several books which have mentioned his name multiple times. Noted painters like Jogen Chowdhury remembered him in his sayings that is well documented in this link: https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/Jogen_Chowdhury/e_zpAAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0&bsq=Kumkum%20Munshi and https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/ADDA/tSdBEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Kumkum+Munshi&pg=PT81&printsec=frontcover. Not only that, painter Amitabh SenGupta has also remembered Kumkum Munsi in his book Memoir of an Artist (https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/MEMOIR_OF_AN_ARTIST/teLtAwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Kumkum+Munshi&pg=PA26&printsec=frontcover). Even there are some books I found in the Google Books that have their covers designed by Munsi (https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/Contemporary_Bengali_Literature/vlsch77pobsC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Kumkum+Munshi&pg=PA2&printsec=frontcover and https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/Cokhera_b%C4%81ire/-jw0AAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%AE+%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%80&dq=%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%AE+%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%80&printsec=frontcover). Also in 1970, the news of Munsi's exhibition in Maxmuller Bhavan in Kolkata was covered in this Bengali article: https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/De%C5%9Ba/d-EcAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0&bsq=%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%95%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%AE%20%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%80 . Finesilpo (talk) 16:14, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Also in 1965, another document covers the news of exhibition by Munsi along with other painters. Although these links are available online, there were two books published offline in which Munsi was commemorated which also supports the notability of the subject. Also, in those books it was mentioned that after Munsi's death the Tata Group commemorated Munsi with all his paintings published in their calender.For an artist, is it not a notability when he gets remembered by internationally renowned conglomerate like Tata Group? Finesilpo (talk) 16:22, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Name mentions or acknowledgements or image/photo credits are not significant coverage which is what is needed for GNG. Furthermore, the majority of these links are unverifiable. A corporation like Tata Group using his images in a calendar is also not significant coverage nor does it contribute to notability. Sorry to disappoint, but he fails NARTIST.

- Kosmic Free Music Foundation (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I was only able to find mentions and brief descriptions (<100 words) of the subject in reliable sources (such as by searching "filetype:pdf "Kosmic Free Music Foundation" " on Google). The article doesn't link to anything that would establish notability. toweli (talk) 08:00, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

- You must not have been on the internet in the mid 1990s. Back then, "reliable sources" would not be covering what they individuals were doing in the online music community. 75.3.240.177 (talk) 04:55, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
