Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Francis Cunningham (painter)
per  article improvements by {{u|DiamondRemley39}}. '''Delete Neutral''' - I looked deeply into this entry since academic painting is not an interest of mine, and I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. Here's my thoughts: The press is local, not major national or international art publications like Artforum, Art in America, that publish art criticism within a historical framework. Some are listings which don’t count towards notability. The one closest to an in-depth piece is from a vanity press (Wall St. Intern’l) therefore does not count. The NY Sun citation is a three sentence mention. A number of the citations don’t mention him at all, but rather mention artists who are name-dropped in the article. Several citations are primary sources from his affiliations like the NY Academy of Art, Art Students League, these don’t count. The Berkshire Museum collection is unverifiable per a collections search or digital archive search. Re: Richmond Museum, it’s a small university museum that did not purchase his work, it was donated by someone. Unlikely that a curatorial process was involved. His publications don’t seem to be reviewed. The “Works”, most of which are unverifiable seem to be illustrations in technical publications, or things he wrote himself. Regarding the Awards, Bogliosco is a residency fellowship. The one that ''would'' count is the Tiffany Foundation, unable to verify from citation which seems to be about his teaching in relation to the Art Student’s League. I’m not sure about the other awards as it seems they may have some sort of “membership” criteria, other editors may know more about this. So to my mind, it seems his notability is hung on that one Tiffany grant - the sum total of everything does not a notable artist make, therefore does not pass  nor . (Sorry this is so long
