Omelette About to Be Irreparably Crushed by Hands

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I created this article last spring as a stub. However, I was a newer editor, and I didn't understand the notability guideline's as well as I do now. I am beginning to have doubts about whether this individual drawing is notable enough for its own article. There are very few, if any sources which could be used to expand it, so it would be highly unlikely for it to ever be anything more than a one-sentence stub. I would like other editors' input on this. Thanks. — focus 04:15, 4 January 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, NW ( Talk ) 02:29, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Dali is about as notable as an artist can get, but this is literally just a doodle. I couldn't find any sources aside from inclusion in two books cataloguing Dali's work. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  05:27, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of works by Salvador Dalí. There may not be enough information to warrant an article about this drawing, but at least we can redirect the title to the list of the artist's works. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:27, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete might well be notable, but a one line "article" is rather pointless. Or redirect. Johnbod (talk) 20:45, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep No harm in keeping it, it's one of the only sketches of Dali's we have (maybe the only drawing), I haven't seen any other drawings by Dali on wikipedia. Dali did a few other Omelettes that year, like Omelettes with Dynamic, Mixed Herbs; and Figure - Omelettes; (scroll down) must've been hungry...Modernist (talk) 16:22, 7 January 2011 (UTC)  struck "Keep" as this user has opined "Strong Keep" below. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 15:20, 14 January 2011 (UTC)   redacted comment as user has redacted duplicate !vote &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 16:20, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep It's a sketch. By Dali.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.244.9.9 (talk) 20:35, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom, and since nom is also the author. Dali himself is notable, but this particular drawing does not seem to be. YardsGreen (talk) 13:40, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as G7 (author requesting deletion). As far as I can tell, there is no time limit on speedy deletion, and while this page has been edited by two other editors, none of those edits added or removed substantive content. Absent that, I still say delete as I find no independent notability for this subject. In either case, I have no prejudice against recreating as a redirect to List of works by Salvador Dalí. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 15:18, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment It's a notable work by a notable artist and its the only paperwork by Dali on wikipedia. Bottom line - it's notable and valuable to the project. It's a working sketch, and is reproduced in various books on Dali's oeuvre...Modernist (talk) 00:16, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It's the only paperwork by Dali in Wikipedia because I randomly decided to create this article and not one for a different sketch. I think this was listed at WP:RA actually. But that doesn't make it notable. Focus (talk) 00:46, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * This is not about you - you started the stub; you don't own it, - and you don't consequently wish it away...Modernist (talk) 05:53, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying I own it; that's why I took this to AfD in the first place. But the reasons you've provided above don't explain why this drawing, and not any other random drawing, is notable enough for an article. If you could provide even one source which could be used to expand this article (not just a list of his works), that would be a different story. Also, I'll note that you have supported this twice, and so your second 'strong support' is not valid. Focus (talk) 15:14, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * comment It's a documented work by a notable artist and is sourced to books on Dali's work, BTW my support is certainly valid, as is your 2nd non-support here...Modernist (talk) 15:55, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. As someone who works almost only on visual articles, I would be dismayed if any article on a work by a (it kills me to say this as I do not generally like Dali at all) major artist would be deletable. I worry about precedent, not knowing enough to know if a judgement on a single ADF becomes law. For what its worth the drawing is useless. Ceoil  00:49, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * There's no reasonable way this AFD, no matter how it closes, could be used as a justification for deleting another article on a completely different work of art. postdlf (talk) 22:45, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per author request. There is literally nothing else to say, and all the "keep"s so far are either WP:LOSE or WP:ITSNOTABLE. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 18:28, 14 January 2011 (UTC) Redirect per building consensus, author can probably be bold and do it.

 * Redirect to List of works by Salvador Dalí for complete lack of independent content; it just restates the title and identifies the artist and year, as the list does. Another consideration is that the artwork is not in the public domain, so there really isn't even an article here to anchor the nonfree content.  A redirect here doesn't have much value, but it's not inconceivable that a valid article could be researched and written about even an obscure drawing of his.  I'd support deletion as a second best option over keeping outright.  postdlf (talk) 18:45, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
