This is an arbitrary list of examples of controversial works of art, introduced by a very brief and curious definition of scandals, that discusses mostly paintings, and includes a number of works that were not scandals at all. The inclusion criteria are not unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources, as WP:LSC recommends. Vexations ( talk) 18:38, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

- Delete and possibly introduce
category:Artistic scandals per
Category:Scandals by type , with clearly defined inclusion criteria.
- Reason: The usage of the term can be found, but my quick google search didn't show any in-depth discussion of the term. It appears to be merely a collocation with no special significance, kinda " yellow flower" or " Eternal love" (cf. Eternal Love :-). Staszek Lem ( talk) 18:52, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep The concept seems reasonably clear and easily passes
WP:LISTN as the page already lists several good sources: Les grands scandales de l'histoire de l'art; Le scandale dans l'art; Scandales érotiques de l'art. And it is quite easy to find more such as this article in Britannica:
Vile or Visionary?: 11 Art Controversies of the Last Four Centuries. The suggestion that a category be used instead violates
WP:CLN which makes it clear that we don't delete such pages in order to do the same thing differently.

- @ Andrew Davidson: The Britannica is just a list of scandals, with a brief preamble, Iust as in our wikipedia good list articles. The subject per see' is not discussed in depth. Therefore, if kept, I would suggest renaming it. Staszek Lem ( talk) 17:45, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
- weak keep the article may be an 'arbitrary list' as it stands, but it seems to be a well-defined topic that a better list or simply article could well be developed for. afd isn't cleanup/ See [1] [2] [3] for examples of coverage Eddie891 Talk Work 21:46, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
