Talk:Judith Scott (artist)

Demonstrably False
"she would wrap them in carefully selected colored yarns to create diverse sculptures in many different shapes". She does not carefully chose out the yarn by color, she simply raps with what shes got. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.234.164.18 (talk) 00:26, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Article Hemorrhaging with Opinion
Well, it seems to be rather obvious that this article is in dire need of sources. Although, upon reviewing more than a few of her artistic pieces, it is quite obvious that her work is outsider art, and this fact needs little more than a picture to support it, there still lies the general question of her notability. The article about this particular Judith Scott seems to be inhabiting the rightful namespace of an actress with far more renown, but I see that as a moot point, as the actress has been categorized as such within her own namespace, and page migration isn't usually the answer.

This article, however, is about an arguably lesser-known artist "famous" for making cocoon sculptures, often by winding yarn around a stick, and contains only one reference to a copyrighted work, used for a disparaging quote; the entire article is basically a short book report on that single work. The overall presentation is aesthetic due to the edit history, but there is no proof furnished for any of the other claims in this article. I think our standards are a little higher than that.

Outsider art isn't particularly my forte. Could somebody please look into the general notability, as per wp:note, or change the wording in certain sections to make her sound less like a hero as per wp:npov, or at least add a few credible references? Otherwise, it appears that this article will be stubbed, or tagged dubious in multiple places, and could, once again, rightfully be considered a candidate for deletion. 96.240.161.194 (talk) 12:34, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

The term "retarded" versus "cognitive disability"
Unless there is some demonstrable historical usage of the term "retarded", e.g. her interlocutors at the Columbus State House used the term to describe her, or it was the prevailing medical term at the time (in which case we would need to source these situations, documents or ideas), the terms "cognitive disability", "intellectual disability", and "disability" are all much more rigourous, not to mention less offensive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.139.67 (talk) 14:09, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Place of birth
Place of birth has been cited as both Cincinnati, and Columbus in Ohio. Adding a note here for discussion and development. Joojay (talk) 19:27, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Cincinnati seems to be cited more often in (what I would consider) more reliable sources - Oxford Art Online, Smithsonian American Art Museum, National Gallery of Art. But the Creative Growth Art Center, where she started her art career and attended throughout her life, lists her as being born in Columbus. - Whisperjanes (talk) 20:52, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
