Talk:List of Russian artists

Reshaping the list
I'm going to make the format of this list similar to that of List of Russian inventors. As a part of this, I'm deleting the red links in the current list and put them here: Perhaps I'll add here some other painters from this that are of minor importance and can't be illustrated good enough. For the full list without pictures we have Category:Russian artists. Greyhood (talk) 23:16, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Ivan Golikov (1886-1937) - Palekh miniature painter (see Голиков, Иван Иванович (художник))
 * Nikifor Krylov (1802–1831), painter
 * Nikolai Dmitrievich Kuznetsov (1850–1929), painter
 * Ernst Lipgart (of German descent) (1847–1932), painter
 * Dmitri Nalbandian, Kremlin's painter of Armenian descent
 * Aleksandr Nikulin (1878–1945), painter
 * Anna Zinkovsky (1972), fantasy painter

Minor painters deleted from the list: That's it. When there will be enough illustrative material on Wikipedia regarding these artists, they may be returned on the list. Greyhood (talk) 23:43, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Better to remove them. It shouldn't be "List of uncelebrated Russian painters". --Kazimierz Malewicz (talk) 20:44, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Agreed. There are a lot of 'lists' of the same (lack of) calibre on dozens of ethnic group and diasporic ethnic group articles. If it's clearly WP:PROMO, they don't belong. No reliable secondary sources = no entry on the notables list. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:12, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
