Talk:American official war artists

Don Troiani (born 1949)
Although Don Troiani is listed as a war artist in this article, how can he truly be an official war artist if he was born in 1949, which is 31 years after the war ended? He may be an "artist who paints WW1 stuff", but that does not make him a "War Artist." I would say that distinction should be limited to those who saw the war with their own eyes.

Status: notability?
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:

 * 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) 05:30, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
