I propose dropping the list and merging a small amount of content from the intro into Tetragrammaton#Usage in art.

The scope is probably overly specific; we don't have similar lists for any other countries or genres. We do have a broader summary of textual use in Tetragrammaton. Tetragrammaton#Usage in art should probably link here if kept. Beland (talk) 02:24, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: It's a theme which appears so frequently in artwork that it probably deserves a page of its own, but I think you are right that limiting it to Austrian art may be too narrow in scope. What about changing the page title to a general page on the the tetragrammaton in art, or tetragrammaton in Christian art, and making the list part of a collapsible subsection for Austria? This way the page could eventually be expanded to include appearances in other countries.

This would not be hard to do, as most of the lead section is not specific to Austria at all. It looks like there are more resources in Tetragrammaton in Christian art in the Czech Republic to work with in expanding it. Chagropango (talk) 06:25, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, well sourced as a stand-alone topic (if other editors would want to put in the time and research it took to create this for another country that seems fine too, but this one covers a single country-wide topic well). Randy Kryn (talk) 12:32, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, what's the argument for deletion? Give policies please, there are none in the nom. It may be "over-specific" but so are half the lists on WP. Johnbod (talk) 13:56, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep No valid reason given for deletion. If someone wants to make a list of Tetragrammatons in art and then whenever there were enough entries to split off into a side list by country, then that'd make sense. This article is long enough to be on its own though. Well referenced and a notable aspect mentioned in things. Dream Focus 15:38, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Rename. Remove "in Austria", I don't see any reason to limit this list in such way. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 16:23, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should keep the present name because of its size (look at the size of the page). If someone wants to make other lists about the same topic they can be separate by continent or something, but Austria seems to have a boatload of these and that is reflected well in this stand-alone page. Randy Kryn (talk) 17:08, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it would be misleading to rename it while the whole list is about Austria. And wildly optimistic to think that anyone is going to add many from other countries. Johnbod (talk) 19:52, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
