Satanic artists

 * — (View AfD)

Delete, article appear to be opinion and original research and may have WP:LIVING issues as well. Tunnels of Set 06:00, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as original research. I agree with the BLP issue too; we can't call people Satanic without a pretty good reference - this article has none. - Eron Talk 17:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete most of the article is based on purely original research and lacks sources. TSO1D 21:33, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * SPEEDY Delete, unless backed up by sources before tagging ... there are problems with sources, citations, original research and WP:LIVING. A good eaxample of how not to do it (hey maybe we could keep it as a don't-do-this example) Alf photoman 00:55, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, you can call me Satanic if you want, and it's no skin off my nose, but there are certainly people who might object, and I suspect that Bosch would be one if he were still around. Yes, his images of hell are fairly iconic, but that doesn't make it appropriate to call him a "Satanic artist".  The article is pure OR, and seems to mix up artists-who-happen-to-be-Satanists (or claim to be) with artists-who-depict-Satan (or hell--not sure Bosch ever actually painted Satan himself).  There might possibly be an article to be written on the topic, but this certainly isn't it!  (And Satanic Art would probably be a better topic to start with in any case.)  What's there is unsalvageable in my opinion.  Xtifr tälk 09:44, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
