"A Painting a Day"

The sources provided are for specific artists. There is no evidence that this is an art movement. This may be an internet phenomena, but the article would need to be completely rewritten as such and make no claims to being an art movement, which it is not. It should be noted that A Painting a Day was created and speedy deleted twice. The editor was banned for a username violation, created a new account, and created this article, with the quotes (which is inappropriate anyway). I nominated this for speedy deletion, but it was declined. I don't see how this is anything more than advertisements for the artists mentioned in the article. The claims in this article are completely unsupported.  freshacconci  speak to me  17:08, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Two sources, written within a week of each other in the 2006 silly season describe the practice of painting postcard-sized images and selling them on e-bay, or directly through blogs. Trivial coverage, non-notable subject.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 20:06, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete This appears to be something brewing among modern day artists. I say it may be notable in the future, but not as of yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by I live on Planet Art (talk • contribs) 00:44, 28 June 2008 (UTC) I live on Planet Art (talk) 00:46, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
