This article is currently not suitable for an encyclopedia so I am nominating it for deletion. The text is in very poor English and describes Matisse's stay in Tangier rather than the painting itself. It is also unsourced, an orphan and has no image and no equivalent in French Wikipedia. The subject is likely to be notable but this article is not a useful starting point. TSventon (talk) 19:12, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. ~~We have an article on the painting already, at Window at Tangier.~~ This text is unsourced, full of POV statements, poorly phrased, and adds nothing of value to that. --Lockley (talk) 20:53, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Lockley in case a redirect is suggested, Window at Tangier seems to be a different painting with a slightly different title held by Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow rather than Musée de Grenoble. TSventon (talk) 21:21, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Right you are! I stand corrected & should have looked a bit harder. --Lockley (talk) 21:31, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
User:Amkgp It's a painting of a scene in Africa, yet the only list you add is the French one! Johnbod (talk) 01:53, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Johnbod, Thanks for pointing that error ~ Amkgp 💬 02:55, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Painting' = visual arts too Johnbod (talk) 13:48, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Would be a notable subject, I expect. Johnbod (talk) 01:53, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unsourced article apparently translated poorly from a foreign language (the English text is ungrammatical). The subject may be notable, but nothing from this article needs to be kept. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:15, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as copyright violation. I suspect the article is a (machine?) translation of the first chapter of Matisse, Henri (1999). Matisse: lignes et couleurs du Maroc (in French). Paris: Institut du Monde Arabe. ISBN 978-2-84306-059-5. OCLC 43319171., which begins : "Le 27 janvier 1912, Matisse s'embarque à Marseille en direc-tion de Tanger. Il va y rester deux mois et demi" Vexations (talk) 14:48, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
