Contemporary women artists (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Delete: There is no need for such a list. In this way nemerous such lists can be created starting with "Contemporary women...". Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 12:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete The title is very PoV, not to mention that the list hasn't has barely even been started yet. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 12:48, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
  • there is nothing much on contemporary art...so this is a list that should be built otherwise there is nothing substantial on contemporary art...this makes wikipedia incomprehensive on contemporary art - including contemporary women practitioners - the only thing i can find is an old article on the history of women artists...its possible in future it could be merged into one big comprehensive list of contemporary practitioners?...and yes youre right the list has only just begun... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Humbridg (talk • contribs)
  • What defines "contemporary" and what defines "artist"? Those are the two main issues here -- without any set criterion, lists are far from comprehensive. If you just made this all women artists, then the list would be miles long if completed. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 13:12, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

simply living notable female artists practising today....thats how ive defined contemporary for the purpose of encyclopedia...this is open obviously to interpretation! but i think a list cant harm but will only add! perhaps this should be said at top of list...living female artists??—Preceding unsigned comment added by Humbridg (talk • contribs)

  • Delete Beyond reasonable scope. Per WP:NOT, not a very discriminating list. Blaxthos ( t / c ) 13:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per Blaxthos, who has said what I've been fumbling for in this space for best part of 15 mins. Also the comments above that contradict themselves over what is meant by contemporary in this instance give an ominous indication of how awkward the inclusion policy would be. The tea-leaves, they do not look good. Plutonium27 (talk) 13:58, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
