I think think this is a hoax article. What do you think? Tagishsimon (talk) 14:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:V. Googling for relevant information (including "Mark Madison" +Wettinburg) turns up nothing but this article and copies. If this supposed collection were as notable as advertised, there would be some evidence of it on the Web. (Don't be confused by hits for the Madison Art Collection at James Madison University.)

 * Delete as hoax - I can't find any evidence of this collection either on the web or in books (and I'm currently in a library!) Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 15:09, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete not only can't I find anything on the collection but the "Viscount of Wettinburg" doesn't seem to exist either. Hut 8.5 17:19, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Note also that the source given for File:Francescostjerome.jpg credits "Mark Lawrence Art Collection."  That doesn't make this content impossible, but it doesn't make it any more plausible either.  - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 18:37, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
