This drawing is from a book called "Fifty Drawings by Aubrey Beardsley" (here is an ebay listing for the book which has a scan of the drawing[1]) by HS Nichols, which the Library of Congress says is a forgery of drawings [2]. This is not a drawing by Aubrey Beardsley and several people have noticed some of the drawings on here are forgeries from this book. --Turn685 (talk) 00:06, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Keep If these forgeries are confusing people, arguably it makes more sense to keep and correctly label them as forgeries, than to delete. In this case the file would need to be renamed. Rd232 (talk) 18:47, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
- I agree too actually. I didn't know you could rename pages here. I'd rename it to "Oscar Wilde by HS Nichols" and then says why it's referred to as a Beardsley drawing in the description. --Turn685 (talk) 22:57, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
