The result was keep. I would, however, remind Lx121 that consensus is
not a vote and that you may only !vote once during an AfD discussion. That said, I am going to close this as a keep rather than re-listing a third time. (non-admin closure) Go Phightins! 18:49, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply

the term is referenced to only one source. the common phrase for this is "limited edition artwork" or words to that effect. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:02, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment "Artist's multiple" is the term that I would use for the matter in question. And the first Google Books return is Stephen Bury's "Artists' Multiples 1935-2000" (ISBN 0754600750, published 2001). That said, I can appreciate the issues with the current article and will look further.

- Keep article this is clearly a topic that can be covered in an encyclopedia. I am not sure what the proper name is though so the article maybe should be moved.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:11, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete An unreferenced distinction without a difference. Not notable. --talk) 22:02, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Obvious Keep; how is it useful or "encyclopedic" to remove an entry that provides a definition for a commonly-used term in contemporary-art vocabulary!? if we have a mega-article glossary, of such terms, we could consider moving it there (although i think it's long enough to justify a separate existence. as for references (& "notability), it's not at all hard to find more of them via google... & i don't see any egregious factual errors that would entirely destroy & invalidate the merits of keeping/having an article about this topic.

- Keep On the basis of my comments above and specific references as well as more general evidence of usage that have been added to the article. AllyD (talk) 09:57, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- ok, now this deletion has been relisted TWICE; why is that exactly? the first time, maybe one could justify because the initial discussion only generated one commentor. & while they appeared to favour keeping the article, they didn't actually "vote". but the first relisting generated 2 keep (including mine) & one delete; which, taken with the commentor's position from the initial discission, should add up to a pretty solid "keep". BUT instead, we now have a SECOND "RELISTING" (which has inspired the original commentor to clarify their position to a solid "keep"...) IT IS NOT LEGITIMATE TO CONTINUALLY "RELIST" ARTICLES FOR "DISCUSSION" UNTIL ONE ACHIEVES THE OUTCOME ONE DESIRES; & if we do keep relisting endlessly, then i think it only fair to start the voting anew for each "round", & i again vote keep; so in this round that's 2-0 in favour of retaining the article. are we done yet?
