Circulism

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

A very loosely put together article describing 3 entirely different art "movements" or "techniques"- the first of these is the invention of a single artist (Khalifa Alqattan) with almost no influence (all that the cited sources about the movement tell us is that it is "based on philosophy") and so is only relevant to his biography. The second is an invention of another single artist who isn't even notable enough to have his own article, and the same is true of the third one. There is not indication that this meets any notability guidelines. A search for Khalifa Alqattan himself only brings up WP mirrors. Lithoderm 00:41, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The hits on Google books are evidence of the nominator's correct assessment of the situation. We have an odd synthesis of things that have very little in common except for the name. Drmies (talk) 00:59, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Would someone please start an article about my personal art movement, which I call Lavalism? Laval (talk) 02:27, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. "Circulism" as a common shading or texturing technique, perhaps. Not as a "movement" or technique attributable to one person.RadarsFinger (talk) 06:43, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
