speedy delete - no notability and i speculate this was created by the subject of the article (based on his creation of articles on his own artwork). give me a break! 4.18GB 13:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy delete as spam. No particular claims of notability, and creator's contributions seem to consist of spamming his name and website across every article they can think of. Update: see also In Despair. Pseudorealism seems to be related. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:38, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Keep- Dont assign motives. He has been covered in many mainstream articles.Bakaman Bakatalk 20:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of India-related deletions. Bakaman Bakatalk 20:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. NN, spam, astroturfing. Pavel Vozenilek 20:37, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Pseudorealism is another spam page to increase rank of website obviously operated by Devajyoti Ray. I must say that the old days of naive spammers are over - this guy was able to grab top ranks for generic word with just three stubs here. Pavel Vozenilek 20:44, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- See also Pseudorealism in Indian Art. He modestly placed himself into Painting, Indian art and several lists. I predict one day he will be rich and famous and Misplaced Pages worth. Pavel Vozenilek 20:51, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

- Comment - Did you even look at the article? Notability has been established. Who cares whether he spammed, he still is notable.Bakaman Bakatalk 21:02, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, it hasn't been unqeuivocally established. The links that you added aren't to non-trivial published works. The "bengali school" article just gives a name check as part of a laundry list of names, the page in The Hindu simply advertises the opening times for an art exhibition, and in fact was earlier removed from the article here.

- Reply - Its not the works that this AFD is on, its the artist, who is notableBakaman Bakatalk 23:16, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Reply - well that's exactly what we are debating, if he is notable. its obvious these 3 articles he created were in self promotion4.18GB 23:53, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- You appear to be confused about how notability is determined and what published works we deal with in the context of AFD. Please read our Misplaced Pages:Criteria for inclusion of biographies. The relevant published works are the ones cited in the article (and any further ones that anyone can find), and as I pointed out, at least two of them don't pass the non-triviality threshold.
