Lists of exhibitions
First off, thank you for your work to cut down on long lists of exhibitions! (especially completely unsourced lists) It's a slog, and a lot of arts-interested editors don't realize that this info is really only useful for a commercially oriented CV.

But it's often helpful to move the lists onto the talk page instead of just deleting them outright - while unhelpful for the average user, this info is super useful for editors who want to expand the article later on, as it points them toward exhibitions and institutions that might have information about the artist's life, career, and stylistic evolution (catalogue essays for exhibitions, usually written by curators and art historians, are among the most important secondary sources for biographical information on artists, as these are usually the most detailed pieces of writing with the most access to the subject while they're alive). The approach I generally take is to move anything that's completely unsourced to the talk page (long lists of exhibitions in particular), and whittle down long lists of cited exhibitions to a handful of the most notable solo exhibitions an artist staged during their lifetime or so far (no more than 5, usually). But major edits like these often spur other interested editors to revisit the article and expand it with better citations and relevant information, and keeping the unsourced exhibitions lists on the talk page, even if only temporarily, can create a great jumping-off point for those other editors. Thanks again for all your good edits! 19h00s (talk) 22:02, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
