 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Visual arts and Lists. Shellwood (talk) 08:02, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge. The article for Gaetano Chierici is not that long, so a spinout article of relevant content may not be needed.  Just as listing the names of all the films an actor has been in, or an author has written, is a valid information and navigational link, valid spin-off article, so it is acceptable to list artwork an artist is notable for.

 * Keep, nothing broken and WP:NPOV. Lists of artworks by individual artists have appeared as Wikipedia articles since time immemorial (2001). Monet, Van Gogh, Chierici, and scores of other artists have their works listed on individual list pages. Good for the goose good for the Chierici. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:40, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge. Move content to Gaetano Chierici as that article is not that long. The Chierici bio article certainly is not long enough to justify having a separate stand-alone list article of his works. Drdpw (talk) 18:41, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge Better for the main article. The main article itself is still not eloborate enough & a separate article invites the addition of non-notable items and violates WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Shrikanthv (talk) 08:13, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Incorrect use of WP:NOTDIRECTORY, under this interpretation all lists of paintings by any artist could be removed from Wikipedia as "directories" or whatever legalese handfuls of RfC editors use to get rid of perfectly fine pages. Common sense alone would keep this page as is, and WP:NPOV kicks in as well (RfC editors shouldn't be allowed to pick and choose which reputable recognized artist can be represented by a list-of-paintings page).

 * Keep and Oppose Merge . Invalid deletion argument. A list of works by an artist does not fall under any of the 6 criteria listed at WP:NOTDIRECTORY. A list of works by a given artist has context as it is limited to a single artist and their creative output (so criteria 1 does not apply). Likewise, it isn't loosely associated because the works are all by a single artist (so criteria 2 does not apply). A list of works is not a non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations because the original works of art created by an artist are part of what gives them notability for encyclopedic coverage. (so criteria 3 does not apply). A list of works has no genealogical basis (so criteria 4 does not apply). A list of works is not an Electronic program guides (so criteria 5 does not apply). And a list of works is not a resource for conducting business. (so criteria 6 does not apply). In short, there is no policy based application of NOTDIRECTORY to a list of works by an artist or other creative professional. As there is no valid rationale for deletion, a merge per WP:ATD is not a valid choice. Any merger should occur through the normal channels at WP:MERGE and not through AFD. 4meter4 (talk) 03:53, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep and Oppose Merge per User:4meter4. Generally visual arts editors prefer to keep these lists separate, & rightly so, and it should not be for the drive-by Afd audience to decide otherwise. This nom has no arguments for deletion, & should not have been put as an afd. If you want a merge, propose one. Johnbod (talk) 13:12, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep and Oppose Merge. A while back, a list of works was spun off from the Giovanni Boldini article (diffs) and it looks like an improvement to me, giving both article and list room to grow. Per Randy Kryn, not broke, don't fix. Ewulp (talk) 23:13, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
