There's no reason to delete a stub article about a notable work of art. The "more sources needed" tag is appropriate and we should be encouraging editors to expand the article, not delete the stub altogether. ----Another Believer(Talk) 18:36, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also, IF the article was deemed unnecessary at this time, we should just redirect (not delete) the page. We don't delete redirects that serve a purpose. ---Another Believer(Talk) 18:38, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that this article actually has less content in it than List of paintings by Francis Bacon. It adds absolutely nothing to the encyclopedia. If we changed i back into a redirect the only place that it could possibly be redirect to would be List of paintings by Francis Bacon. The problem is that is basically just a mention, no real discussion of the painting. ~ GB fan 19:14, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, so the stub needs to be expanded, not deleted. ---Another Believer(Talk) 19:25, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But if it doesn't get expanded now, it will just sit there. It is better for it to be a red link so that people don't think we have information on the painting. Then when someone is interested in writing an article with some real content about the painting they can. ~ GB fan 19:29, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, a red link is not better than a stub, IMO. Anyone can expand the stub when they decide to take action. ---Another Believer(Talk) 19:31, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
