Non-notable artist. No real claims of notability, and I'm unable to find a single independent source, reliable or otherwise. Kolbasz (talk) 00:39, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - the article meets #2 on ARTIST, the notability guideline for artists/painters, and the article says that Bary created the trend of Inward Expressionism, making the article meet #2 on ARTIST. Delete - Roscelese's opinions on this AFD swayed my opinions. Also, I didn't look into what inward expressionism was when making my !vote, and Roscelese had a point about it.  -Fim atic   (talk &#124; contribs) 01:03, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * No one does "Inward Expressionism" except Bary; it's his name for his own art style. By that logic, I am the notable founder of Roscelesism. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 02:24, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * True; your !vote swayed my opinion - I changed my !vote.  -Fim atic   (talk &#124; contribs) 06:06, 29 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. Non-notable person - fails WP:BIO and WP:ARTIST - created by an account whose sole purpose is to promote this guy. By the way, this AfD was malformed, so I accidentally created another one, which I will go and delete now + make the AfD tag at the article direct here. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 02:24, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete: Multiple searches (Highbeam, Questia, Google) are turning up no evidence to indicate that the subject meets any of the notability criteria. AllyD (talk) 08:25, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete There is not a single shred of independent evidence that this artist has ever had a major public exhibition, that his works are displayed in any museums, or have been the subject of discussion by notable art critics, or that anyone has taken any public notice of his work anywhere. As for the "art movement" he supposedly created, it seems that he has no known followers. For all I know, he may well be very talented, but he is not notable.
