Saira
Hello. Your recent edit to Saira appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 16:04, 21 April 2021 (UTC)


 * She is an artist that I am interested in and saw her work at the de Young Museum Open exhibit in San Francisco. Not sure how do you decide who is notable and who is not but she seems notable to me. I have been trying to add an artists that I think are good where I can. I rather thought that was the purpose of everyone being able to add to Wikipedia. Now more than ever the world needs more art and promoting artists is the way to achieve it. I hope you don’t plan on choosing for everyone who is notable and who is not. You can research the names of the artists that I add if you feel the need to oversee my edits to make sure that they are real. Mienssiren (talk) 16:18, 21 April 2021 (UTC)


 * As already advised in the notice I left, above 1) any person, or other entity, added to a list normally requires them to already have their own article on the English Wikipedia 2) before creating such an article please see the relevant notability guideline, to save you searching, in this case it is WP:ARTIST
 * I am not here to "police" your additions, but I, and many other editors, will simply delete "non-notable" additions - i.e. those without pre-existing Wikipedia articles. Furthermore, I will certainly not be "researching" anything - that is your job when creating the article, which must be based solely on reliable, independent, published sources, not material produced by the artist, their agent, or galleries showing their work; nor on your opinion, or original research. Before you start writing an article please read Help:Your first article and please be sure that the person clearly complies with WP:ARTIST, or you will become very frustrated when your article is rejected.
