The result was redirect to 3D modeling. have added a note at the top there about 3d artists to justify the redirect. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:18, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

No evidence of notability. I also could not find any reliable sources for this. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 00:09, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Comment The grounds for deletion seem bizarre: there's lots of material about 3D computer art and its creators. The question is whether this duplicates existing articles and could be a redirect. There's obvious overlap with 3D modeling (which describes the process of constructing 3D models), and Digital art (which describes the fine art aspects of 3D digital imaging). There are sources on 3D artist as a job[1][2][3][4] but I'm not convinced we need a separate article. Wikipedia's coverage of digital art and computer graphics jobs could be improved, but making this a redirect to an existing article, and improving that article, would be better than creating another stub. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:45, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Delete. This is confusing. For decades, if not over a century, the term 3D artist meant an artist working in three-dimensional media - such as sculpture, installation, ceramics, woodworking, etc. Content from this article should be merged with Digital art or 3d modeling, or perhaps it should be renamed 3D computer art.

Comment Painter redirects to painting. If it redirects, it would be good if it says "3d artist" somewhere in the article. Mobygames recommends mapping the "3d artist" credit to "3d modeling". I have a few more refs for whatever happens. StrayBolt (talk) 00:48, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
