Auto art

While this claims to be some new movement in art, I can't verify that. What it does seem to be is an advertisement for an artist who has a non-notable blog, 30 results on Google, and no media coverage that I can find. Adding it all together, I don't think this needs really warrants an article. W.marsh 19:09, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete but only because the thing is so badly and subjectively written, and because I can't think that's the right title. There is a real movement involving highly decorated motorised trishaws, trucks and especially the Jeepney. Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] :: AfD? 20:16, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. unencyclopedic, advertising tone.-Dakota ^t ^e 20:50, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, it is an advertisement, but it is a real subject. That is why I put the total rewrite tag on it a while back. It should be rewritten to talk about actual auto art, which appears to exist. -- Kjkolb 20:55, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but Wikify. It seems to be better known as Rickshaw Art. I found a Bangladesh News review of a gallery opening [1] and a Banglapedia article [2] that states this art form has a fifty year history among numerous apparently legitimate references. The New York Times has reviewed books about Bangladeshi rickshaw art. Durova 23:04, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
