Redirects
editHi! Thank you for moving the files. Shouldn't the redirects be deleted? Lunar-akaunto

- Not necessarily. See WP:FILEREDIRECT. Happy editing :) — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 14:14, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- I see. But redirects are for, like, when there's traffic, right? Previously, when i requested the same for other files, the movers moved without leaving a redirect. Currently, leaving a redirect makes the redirect appear in the file usage section. Anyhow, since there appears to be disagreement by another editor over file names, I'll mark the previous redirects for deletion once that's cleared up.

This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia
editI still do not understand the point. A lot of Artists are below the quality of Jean-Pierre and figure in Wikipedia. I cannot cite much more since the recognition of Jean-Pierre was mainly documented in newspapers. At this time internet was not very popular. And who can decide if someone is notable or not. I also remove all the mention of the quality of this painter to follow the guidance given by previous comments mentionning "advertising". I reduce all to the bone. Very disappointed by the way this was handled. Jpgroppi (talk) 12:27, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Jpgroppi, 6 editors declined the draft before my rejection and 5 left very useful and lenghty comments regarding improvements that can be brought to the article. But I haven't seen any major improvements that barely makes it pass notability criteria yet. It's close to an year now. So if such citations doesn't exist, as you say, that means the subject simply isn't notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. Hence I rejected the draft altogether.
If you still disagree with me, you can contact AfC help desk for a review. Just a heads up, you can devote your time into other articles for which citations are present and improve them. Thanks and happy editing. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 13:06, 11 July 2024 (UTC)- Thanks for your quick reply. What do you mean devoting my time into other article, what do you mean article? Other artists or to find more citations from the actual artist I am trying to publish? Jpgroppi (talk) 14:00, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Jpgroppi, Either. Good luck. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 14:27, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
