Redirect to Multimedia artist —teb728 t c 02:35, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete per WP:CSD § A3. Do not redirect to multimedia artist without a source that confirms both are the same thing. Fleet Command (talk) 08:00, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

weak Keep This article should probably be here, but it needs to actually be written, it's worthless in its current form. It's not the same thing as multimedia artist, and should not redirect there. XeroxKleenex (talk) 19:19, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge with graphic designer First regarding the suggestion to merge with mutimedia artist, they aren't the same thing. A multimedia designer is someone who is very concerned with implementation details such as how big is the file, what platforms will it run on, how does it integrate with the rest of the system. A multimedia artist works more at the conceptual level, drawing pictures, logos, etc. and then hands it off to a designer. Since many sites don't bother with creating sophisticated original art work most web implementation projects that I've been associated with didn't have an artist on the team. IMO this is really the same as a graphic designer. Graphic designers these days are expected to be able to do multimedia, whether you call them a graphic designer or multimedia designer just depends on what type of project it is. If it's a web project with video associated you probably call them a graphic designer if it's a video game you call them multimedia designer but I think the two are essentially the same and if the article is kept it should be merged with graphic designer. But the current article is really just a one sentence definition anyway so I would recommend deletion. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 22:56, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
