Proposed deletion of William Sullivant Vanderbilt Allen


The article William Sullivant Vanderbilt Allen has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This artist does not appear to have been notable. In a search I found only a few catalog listings, items for sale. I found nothing at Google Books or Google Scholar about him or his significance as an artist.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Additional comment Thanks for your comments on the article's talk page. I have copied them to the deletion discussion. Whenever there is any controversy about whether to include the article here or delete it, we do ask for opinions of the wider community, and that's what the Articles for Deletion process is for. You are welcome to comment further at that discussion. I apologize for not linking to the criteria for notability for an artist in my proposal for deletion. Those criteria actually are spelled out, since as you say it should not be based on one person's opinion. Here are the criteria: WP:ARTIST. --MelanieN (talk) 22:07, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
