This is essentially the same as https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Edward_Robert_Hughes. Should it exist in this form? Vexations ( talk) 11:07, 25 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  • Keep lists of works of notable creators are encyclopaedic and I don’t see any clear rationale for deleting this one. Mccapra ( talk) 13:04, 25 October 2021 (UTC) reply

    The question was: "Should it exist in this form?" It's not a gallery (one exists in the article on Hughes), not an (illustrated) list of links to articles about notable artworks but a list of linked filenames. Vexations ( talk) 13:43, 25 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep There is a difference between a category and a list article. Clearly a notable topic that is too big to be in Hughes’ article. Needs better sourcing and some improvements but no reason for deletion. Vladimir.copic ( talk) 13:35, 25 October 2021 (UTC) reply
    Is the list topic discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources? If so, where? Vexations ( talk) 13:44, 25 October 2021 (UTC) reply
    @ Vexations: I suppose I viewed this like a discography or bibliography in that Hughes is usually only spoken about in RS in relation to his works. If you think this article doesn't meet WP:LISTN, is a content fork of Edward Robert Hughes or should be merged into the Edward Robert Hughes article due to notability issues then you should make that argument. Your nomination only makes the case that it should not exist because a wikimedia commons category already exists. Vladimir.copic ( talk) 22:29, 25 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep A valid spinoff article of content that wouldn't fit easily in the main article. If someone is famous for their artwork, then a list of what they created should be somewhere. Dream Focus 18:15, 25 October 2021 (UTC) reply
    We should have a List of works by (Artist) for every notable artist. Is that your argument? We have {{ Navboxes}} for artists whose works themselves are notable. But your argument is that we should list any and all works, isn't it? Vexations ( talk) 18:50, 25 October 2021 (UTC) reply
  • Keep we have lists of releases for musicians and authors, and list of films for actors, so I don't see why an artist shouldn't have a list of works too. The advantage of this article over simply browsing the Wikimedia Commons category is the superior format which is organised and has additional dates, the file names on Wikimedia Commons aren't all helpful either.

  • Keep per discussion. Hughes is a prominent associated artist of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, well worthy of an encyclopedic list of his artworks. Some articles should be deleted, this isn't one of them. Randy Kryn ( talk) 10:59, 1 November 2021 (UTC) reply
