- Delete: Doesn't appear to be notable and is definitely vanity. Possibly a copyright issue (one phrase near the top is a direct copy from http://www.askart.com/AskART/B/william_barr/william_barr.aspx here but some of that site is subscription-only). Both images have similar copyvio issues since they say the author created them but this painter died in 1933! The external link I just mentioned, askart.com, appears to have zillions of artists - 5,393 in B alone - but it's one of the only decent sources I can find. —Wknight94 (talk) 23:54, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Vanity? How come? Seems to be a notable artist. I'll move to William Barr per WP:MOS. The two pictures in the article are photos that the uploader has taken of the original artwork, hence his assertion that he owns them. However, I am not an expert on whether this is allowed as the works in question are almost certainly not his. Askart is a database of painters and their works so it will have a few people listed! --Steve (Slf67) talk 00:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
