[edit] Response to "Scope?"

Dear Hoary - Thanks for the comment. In the entry that existed, I detected only one of the women photographers without a Wikipedia entry (i.e., redlinked), and that was Jean Ferro. I left her in just in case anyone felt strongly about her. I did not add any redlinked photographers, and did not have enough time to add reasons for including each photographer like the nice page Wikipedia:WikiProject History of photography/Japanese photographers does. -- Woodmanbiographer 14:26, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scope?

I strongly suggest doing what List of photographers does: removing all redlinks and limiting the scope to photographers who have articles. If you don't, you're going to have real obscurities, self-nominations, buddy-buddy nominations, hoaxes, etc.

A list with redlinks can be useful, but I'd put it outside article space and model it on Wikipedia:WikiProject History of photography/Japanese photographers -- in which the reason for inclusion of every photographer is clearly stated. Incidentally, here are some women:

  • Hiromix, b. 1976 (ヒロミックス)
  • Imai Hisae, b. 1931 (今井寿恵, いまい ひさえ)
  • Ishiuchi Miyako, b. 1947 (石内都, いしうち みやこ)
  • Kida Aya, b. 1974 (木田綾, きだ あや)
  • Kodama Fusako, b. 1945 (児玉房子, こだま ふさこ)
  • Kon Michiko, b. 1955 (今道子, こん みちこ)
  • Kotani Yasuko, b. 1962 (小谷泰子, こたに やすこ)
  • Matsumoto Michiko, b. 1950 (松本路子, まつもと みちこ)
  • Miyamoto Tomoko, b. 1960 (宮本とも子, みやもと ともこ)
  • Nagashima Yurie, b. 1973 (長島有里枝, ながしま ゆりえ)
  • Ninagawa Mika, b. 1972 (蜷川実花, にながわ みか)
  • Okanoue Toshiko (b. 1928) (岡上淑子, おかのうえ としこ)
  • Orihara Kei, b. 1948 (折原恵, おりはら けい)
  • Sasamoto Tsuneko, b. 1918 (笹本恒子, ささもと つねこ)
  • Shimada Yoshiko, b. 1959 (嶋田美子, しまだ よしこ)
  • Shiomi Mieko, 1909-1984 (汐見美枝子, しおみ みえこ)
  • Tokiwa Toyoko, b. 1930 (常盤とよ子, ときわ とよこ)
  • Yamazawa Eiko, 1899-1995 (山沢栄子, やまざわ えいこ)
  • Yoneda Tomoko, b. 1965 (米田知子, よねだ ともこ)

(All with surnames first.) I've probably missed a few. -- Hoary 09:32, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
