Adding additional information around the reception of the painting. Also need to add more about the composition and Kehinde's ideas for presenting Obama in this style. Aconner3 (talk) 23:31, 20 October 2018 (UTC)aconner3Reply

Reason for this page to exist?

edit

Excuse me for asking, but why exactly was this page deemed necessary. None of the other presidential portraits have pages of their own as far as I am aware and it seems as this article is a stub, that not enough information exists about this particular painting for it to warrant its own page. What is the reasoning behind the pages existence?--Brboyle (talk) 20:47, 9 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Quite a nerve to try to delete these two paintings' images and the two articles, and then complain on all four talk pages about them. For your information, Wikipedia doesn't care about consistency in a topic - that doesn't determine notability. Even if other presidential portraits don't have articles, these ones can. They have sufficient mentions in news, books, journals, etc. Please read Wikipedia:Notability. As well, the photos are under Wikipedia:Fair use: they are not freely licensed or in the Public Domain, but Wikipedia can use them in low resolutions to illustrate the topic being discussed. If you have any more fundamental questions about how Wikipedia works, I suggest you try the Wikipedia:Teahouse. ɱ (talk) 23:19, 10 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Delete, what separates this painting for Bill Clinton's or George W. Bush's, that it got brief attention when it was released? Inconsequential, and frankly a badly-written article all-together. --MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken (talk) 19:29, 20 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
The petitioner may be delighted to know that we have articles on portraits of Jerry Brown and George W. and Laura Bush No Swan So Fine (talk) 21:57, 2 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
