Article about a photograph, not properly sourced as passing notability criteria for artworks. As always, every photograph is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because it exists, but has to show that it's been the subject of WP:GNG-worthy coverage about it to establish its significance -- but this literally just says that the photograph exists, and is referenced solely to a catalogue entry on the self-published website of the museum that holds it (which is not support for notability at all) and a brief glancing namecheck of its existence in an obituary of its photographer (which isn't enough coverage to single-handedly vault this over GNG all by itself if it's all this has). And the French and Spanish interlangs (both of which were also created within the past three days by the same editor who imported it here) are both also based entirely on the exact same two sources, so there's nothing else that can be pulled over to improve this with.
I'm certainly willing to withdraw this if somebody with better access to archived French or Spanish media coverage than I've got can find enough to salvage this, but just existing isn't "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to have considerably more and better referencing than this.

Delete Fails WP:GNG, and is otherwise only one sentence long, not even including said picture itself. --TheInsatiableOne (talk) 15:07, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. There is an Apollo magazine article that talks about the photo, but it is implicit that it is just an example of Gerda Taro's work and approach. It does not seem to have an explicit title, so "Republican soldier in Barcelona" appears to be misleading. Anyway, it's shown in Taro's article, and that's enough.

Delete The article is not properly sourced, one sentence long, and does not include the photo being referenced. Simply it fails WP:GNG. Grahaml35 (talk) 13:28, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I also can't help but note that the title is misleading, as there is another image of a Republican soldier in Barcelona from the same era in the history of photography: [1] Deckkohl (talk) 21:31, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
