Stephen Pearson (artist)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I'm unable to find coverage in reliable sources to demonstrate WP:NARTIST is met. The only claim to notability is that the artist created a widely recreated piece of art, but neither that nor the artist himself has attracted any in-depth commentary. In addition, the articles were created for pay. SmartSE (talk) 16:34, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

The painting is also nominated for deletion. The references cited contain only brief mentions. SmartSE (talk) 16:40, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Merge Pearson's page to Wings of Love (painting). The painting has a decent amount of coverage, in Wayne Hemingway's book and lots of other works on 1970s popular culture, as well as references testifying to its bestselling status (which has less value for a poster than for a record, but still goes towards notability). I don't think we need separate pages on Pearson and the painting, bearing in mind that he's not done much other work of note. Plus while the page on the painting is oddly written, the page on the artist is nakedly promotional. (Note, there was a Californian artist called Stephen Pearson who seems to be unrelated.) --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:22, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
