1548:. As a technical matter I don't think the article passes general notability - a single mention on the LA times news blog, plus press releases, partisan sources (covering a partisan issue), foreign language sources. If every painting that ever got a short article on a major newspaper were considered notable we would have several hundred thousand articles about paintings of no real note. What makes this one interesting and possibly encyclopedic, though, is that it relates to Obama and the public image of Obama including, perhaps unintentionally, a play on the radical conservative refrain that liberals see Obama as their messiah. If the artist had gone ahead and exhibited the painting in Times Square, no doubt it would have gotten some more press. I know that notability is based on coverage in the sources, not just what we think is interesting, but if something is on the borderline as this one is I think we should err on the side of adding material that can enlighten the reader, and this article does that. Also, there 1367:, the White House, the man on the street, or a publisher of PR. That vetting process makes it a reliable source and that's why they are secondary sources. APK is absolutely correct in his arguments on blogs specific to this issue. Unreliable and unacceptable blogs are those that anyone can edit without any editorial oversight, for example reader comments attached to articles or opinion pieces. These cited newspaper "blogs" (eg - National Review and LA Times) are written by professional journalists as part of their job and are under editorial oversight, and are therefore 1247:) "Blogs" in this context refers to personal and group blogs. Some newspapers host interactive columns that they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professionals and the blog is subject to the newspaper's full editorial control. Where a news organization publishes the opinions of a professional but claims no responsibility for the opinions, the writer of the cited piece should be attributed (e.g. "Jane Smith has suggested..."). Posts left by readers may never be used as sources." According to the 2008:, are all artists who established notoriety in large part for their roles in controversies and by receiving substantial media coverage. This particular artist and artwork aren't the most notable, but the coverage and the controversy, and the political issues and perceptions involved in this artwork are notable enough that it is certainly worth including in a pageless encyclopedia. It's never good to censor art, good or bad. 553:"Manufactured"..."children's drawings" I seem to have struck a nerve. What is it exactly that you're implying, PhGustaf? I came across the article several hours ago, formatted refs, added cats, and added a template that's found on similar Obama-related articles. Drawn Some, if you have a mature question to ask me, I'll reply. BTW, Is it safe to assume anyone who votes keep will be berated, or am I the lucky one? 1375:. I have seen articles kept at AfD with considerably less RS provided. The press release and blog oppositional arguments should be rejected as not compelling, and not grounded in policy or guidelines. If the only sources were the press releases, and the showing was canceled, then I would be voting to delete also. The outrage as reliably reported made this notable, not the PR. 868:. The NR cite is an article in a conservative but still mainstream RS; the LA Times cite is a piece, not a mention; and Reuters is a major and respected news service with more than a mention. The Washington Times is not a lot more than a mention, but at 168 words is clearly more, so it qualifies. They all add up to more than sufficient RS and it's clearly not a 1456:- Not notable, perhaps if he sets fire to the work on Times Square, it would be slightly more obvious than it is currently that this was a case a low standard commercial artist attempting to publicise his work for commercial purposes.

That's a good response. Really, you can say anything you want. Your goal is to convince others (and especially the closing administrator) of your point-of-view. Once you've been here a while, you'll start citing various guidelines and policies pro or con. As it is, I think this discussion turns on
