Optipictual Art[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable art medium. Article claims it is only used by a single artist, who invented the medium (and Google reveals no returns for "Optipictual Art" other than this artist). Article tries to build a lot out of unreliable sources - i.e. busisness/artist directories, etc. The only two things that could possibly be considered independent and informative area a) the artist was interviewed by a magazine about her art medium, and b) a couple online art stores use the medium as a search category (although that could possibly be because the medium is defined by the artist selling the work, not the store acting as third-party). Neither supports notability, and there are no sources (either added to the article or through a Google search) that have reviewed or commented on this medium.

Delete, I can't find any sources to show that this is not made up one day. I can't even find sources to meet WP:V. Abductive (reasoning) 20:45, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The lead contains "There is only one optipictual artist, Visual Artist Lyric Jones, who is the creator of this innovative art style." which both demonstrates the lack of notability and shows the purpose of the article (to promote an individual). There are no reliable sources. Johnuniq (talk) 23:18, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
