User talk:Rob-cubed

What makes this unqualified for submission? Please let me know and I'll rewrite or remove things.

I am not trying to actively promote Pooch, my apologies. I simply like his work a lot and don't see why he shouldn't have his own Wiki page. He has shown in some recognizable galleries though he's no Todd Schorr at the moment. Disclosure: I have bought one of his paintings in the past.

Thanks, Rob
 * You may want to see the guidelines for the acceptable uses of a userpage. In short, your user page is meant to briefly describe you to other editors. It is not your personal web site to use as a fan page or to put an "article" which would not be acceptable in the main encyclopedia. If you do want to create such a page, you may want to check on some of the alternative sites which may suit your needs better. Seraphimblade Talk to me 00:37, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

I understand you don't want to turn Wikipedia into a Facebook. I assumed Pooch was "known" enough that there was a legitimate reason to have a Wiki on him.

My intent was to publish this to an article, it was only on my user page as a staging area. Just so I'm clear, did it violate the terms of a user page--or of a Wiki article in general? Thanks for your help, I'm new at this and trying to determine where you draw the line. There are other artists in the Lowbrow movement with Wiki pages. At what point are they considered "acceptable" for publication?

 * There's really only one question&mdash;what reliable sources unrelated to him have covered him in depth? That's required for notability, and passing that requirement is the only way a subject becomes acceptable for an article. If the answer is "none" or "very little", he's not suitable for an article. If there are sources that cover him in significant depth, he might be, using only what's drawn from those sources. Regardless, a laundry list of someone's work is inappropriate. (Also, Wikipedia is a wiki, but it is not "Wiki". Wiki is a type of software for a user-editable website, which Wikipedia and many other wikis use.)
