Civil War Painting

Non-notable something. The style and self-congratulatory nature of the article make it difficult to know just what this "thing" that artist William Quigley created should be called, but given its lack of coverage in any media, it doesn't appear to be notable.

 * Delete Although William Quigley seems to have attracted enough notoriety to have an article of his own, this LeRoyNeimanesque series of American Civil War paintings seems to have escaped notice . Wikipedia may have an art gallery, but it is not an art studio.  Mandsford 19:49, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment Delete The article is insufferably precious and nauseating in its writing, full of terms such as "languid glamorama," and absolute word salad gibberish, but that falls under the need for editing rather than the question of notability. It does not appear to be "spam" by attempting to sell the artworks in question. Quigley seems a talented and innovative artist, and the work(s) could be mentioned in a better written article about him. Per his web site under "Articles" Quigley has had coverage in a number of reliable sources.Edison (talk) 19:39, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
