*'''Comment'''. If the article does not appear to make much sense, that is also because a large part, including the introduction, was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Formal_abstraction&diff=next&oldid=438286740 removed in one fell swoop] as being a copyvio. While the article as it is (and was) is solely based on (an interpretation of) the views of one single art historian, the concept of "formal abstraction" in classifying [[abstract art]] did not originate with him and is not totally non-notable; see e.g. [http://books.google.com/books?id=4kZQAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Formal+abstraction%22&dq=%22Formal+abstraction%22&hl=en&ei=sb0WTuSgJcOSOoS25fUI&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8&ved=0CE4Q6AEwBw here] and [http://books.google.com/books?id=W3oMAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Formal+abstraction%22&dq=%22Formal+abstraction%22&hl=en&ei=sb0WTuSgJcOSOoS25fUI&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=20&ved=0CIoBEOgBMBM here]. As such it might conceivably be the subject of a section in our article on [[Abstract art]], or, like [[Geometric abstraction]], even have its own article. However, the contents of the present article cannot be salvaged. --[[User talk:Lambiam|Lambiam]] 08:59, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
*'''Delete.''' If [[Formal abstraction]] has a definition I think it should be added to the [[Abstract art]] article. But after reading the ''Formal abstraction'' article, I still don't know what that definition is. I find any explanation given thus far incomprehensible to me at least.
