This redirect contains a translation of Historia del grabado from es.wikipedia.

I note that Engraving#History points readers to Old master print and Line engraving. -- John of Reading (talk) 16:26, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, indeed it is duplication. This very poor quality effort is an unhelpful translation from the Spanish that we really don't need. Perhaps it should be redirected or disamed. Johnbod (talk) 04:50, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A particular problem is that the majority of the article is not about

WP:CFORK bits that can't be usefully added anywhere just dropped. Another problem is that this is paid editing. The article entirely ignores Anglophone printmaking throughout, and I suspect the Spanish version is actually translated from the French, as there is a huge emphasis on French and German work.

Unless anyone objects, I am going to start dismembering and dispersing this soon, along the lines I mention above. Johnbod (talk) 01:00, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• What is left is now inferior
  content forking of Printmaking, Engraved gem, Old master print, Ukiyo-e and so on. I'll see if bits can be used elsewhere. Johnbod (talk) 20:18, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply

For now I'll just redirect to Old master print. Johnbod (talk) 01:06, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
