Status: notability?

[edit]

Does it make sense to limit new additions to this list? Is it appropriate at this stage of the article's development to initiate a standard limiting names on this select list to

(a) those who already have Wikipedia articles
and
(b) those who are notable for something other than having depicted war in art -- see, e.g., US Navy Cross edit history?

In a context informed by practices which seem to have worked out well at Navy Cross, all new additions who aren't already featured in an article could be re-redirected to this talk page section with the following edit history explanation:

redlink/artist name must be known for something other than depicting war -- see "Status: Notability" on talk page

The redlinks of those whose names were added, but who do not have an article yet are listed below:

Notable New Zealand war artists
Notes


When any of the above-listed redlink names turn blue, we will know that transferring these names to the talk page was a worthwhile exercise. If none turn blue, then we will have learned that this was a waste of time and effort. --Tenmei (talk) 19:41, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
