 * Delete even if this were a notable topic, the article as it stands is eminently delete-worthy: completely unsourced, evidently copied from a number of other articles. Vanamonde (talk) 10:45, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * This is certainly a notable topic, with at least two books having the exact same title as our article, one by Clara Erskine Clement and one by Rosa Giorgi and Stefano Zuffi. The problem is that our article says nothing about the general topic of saints in art but simply list saints who have been depicted in art. I would urge the article creator, who has been editing the article since it was nominated for deletion, to provide such general content rather than carry on listing more and more individual saints. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 14:30, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete it is a pointless list. It is just a subjective list of names of saints, with the briefest of mention of their attributes and without any explanation why they have these attributes. It might as well just be a list of saints or Saint symbolism. Every saint will have been depicted in some artwork somewhere sometime in history.

 * Redirect to Saint symbolism. Thanks, Tiptoethrutheminefield, for finding the relevant article that I though must already exist but was too lazy to look for. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:47, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Saint symbolism. There is nothing in it's current form that justifies independant article. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 11:27, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to Saint symbolism. -- This article contains the saints dates of death, which could usefully be added to the target. The symbols commonly depicted with each saint are certainly worth having, but the target achieves this much better.  Peterkingiron (talk) 13:18, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
