Ineligible for PROD as it was (rather ludicrously IMO) kept at AfD in 2007. I am not able to find any sources to substantiate this definition as a notable technique. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 22:26, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As nominated. Moreover, one of the two notable (?) exponents has a website that suggests to me that his "watergraphs" are just inkjet prints with faded edges that are made on arty paper. I could be wrong about that, but I've no reason to believe that even the minimal information present in this stub is accurate for the two examples it gives. -- Hoary (talk) 23:56, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -Looking at the article's history, as well as searching for sources, leads me to believe that this is nothing more than a failed attempt to create a WP:NEOLOGISM for an art technique that did not end up garnering any sort of notability. Searching for in-depth, reliable sources for the term came up with pretty much nothing. Rorshacma (talk) 22:44, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article as it is right now is completely unsourced, and in an attempt to find at least one piece of information about this term I couldn't find anything in third-party reliable sources. I found this primary source but it doesn't even substantiate some of the claims in the article. Not to mention both of the artist mentioned as "notable" producers of this technique dont have articles here (although Summers might be notable enough for inclusion).
