Great start
editHi @Alcie.d: A great start. (I see you did, after all, create Barbara Cleveland.) One can of course be somewhat less ambitious in an article start: There is an editor who has been creating minimal artist stubs, ThatMontrealIP. Examples of her articles are: Rhonda Abrams (artist), Fia Backström, and Monika Baer. And as you can see from Kader Attia (initial version), such stubs may grow (see Kader Attia). Simple starts, but hugely useful and they do comply with the notability guidelines!!. Cheers, MargaretRDonald (talk) 21:16, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks @MargaretRDonald:! Sounds like ThatMontrealIP's approach is a useful one for getting more artists onto wiki, perhaps I'll have a go at creating some stubs. Cheers Alcie.d (talk) 00:12, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- i'm a great fan of stubs. Something to add to, little by little. (so please do. It would be great.) MargaretRDonald (talk) 00:31, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
