Christ (Lithograph)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a really nice article but unfortunately, there is actually next to nothing about the artwork itself that has references - nothing to show that this artwork has notability and significant coverage to justify a standalone article on it. It is more an essay on Redon, his life, and his artwork, such as is already on Odilon Redon, than about the artwork itself. I've had a quick search and see some references to the prints, but little specifically on the particular Christ lithograph in question (and Redon did several Christ prints, making it tough to verify which one is being discussed in some of the hits.)

 * Delete (or possibly merge to Odilon Redon, with substantial trimming). Much of the article is unrelated to the work, and the content that actually describes it is completely unsourced aesthetic descriptions, which violate WP:OR. --Animalparty-- (talk) 00:36, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge some to Odilon Redon, though in fact any work by a major artist like Redon is likely to pass WP:N, even if this doesn't emerge from a quick google search. I very much doubt there is any OR here - copyvio or just poor referencing to sources used is far more likely. The editor does not understand the subject very well; obviously the SF museum has only 1 copy of this print, and does not need mentioning. But some of the biographical stuff is sufficiently well-refed to be useful to add. Johnbod (talk) 12:38, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge, either is fine, but why delete? This is a notable and historic piece of art. Valoem   talk   contrib  18:55, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
