 * In addition to being a copyright violation, the article was also blatantly promotional in nature and has been deleted as such. Rule of thumb - if you are using the same marketing and promotional material on Wikipedia as is used to promote the artist on their own website then the article is overly-promotional. --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:24, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

False,

Using a "history of an artist" as background for them is clearly non-promotional. There are no ads or discussion about selling artwork so ever. By using a history of an artist as seen on a dedication page for the artist, it only reflects an interest to explain the background of the artist overall.

 * Please read WP:NPOV - it is important as the tone of this article is decidedly not neutral. A random selection of NPOV policy-violating and inappropriate prose includes:


 * "Her superb color sense has always been Amanda’s trademark"
 * "Her female subjects, not matter how abstract their portrayal, always seem to be real people; and we, the viewer, feel forced to question: who are they, and why do they speak so clearly to us" (dear Lord)
 * "Amanda always knew she was an artist, but life kept getting in her way"
 * "where she was thought to be a gifted and talented instructor"
 * "Traditionally abstract expressionist and very much in the main stream of painting at the time, these large canvasses today have the effect of anchoring the viewer firmly in the times"
 * "A lithographer of some renown...the artist felt very comfortable in the complex and demanding medium of print-making"
 * I am not implying that Block is not worthy of a Wikipedia article, but this is not an encyclopedia article, it is a puff piece. --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:38, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
