List of Malaysian artists

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is just a list copied from an exhibition catalog. Brownsnout spookfish (talk) 18:24, 18 January 2009 (UTC) (categories)
 * Keep- this sort of article exists for other nationalities see: List of American artists, List of South African artists, etc. While Other Crap Exists isn't a reason to keep something, this sort of omission is would basically be systemic bias, since the majority of Wikipedia editors aren't from Malaysia. This article should be cleaned up, not deleted. SMSpivey (talk) 20:31, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying there shouldn't be any list of Malaysian artists, just that this one is not appropriate. Brownsnout spookfish (talk) 22:49, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, that is understandable, the content of this article should be altered. That the article isn't at its best, however, isn't a reason to delete it. SMSpivey (talk) 05:09, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, but rewrite to turn it into a list, and only include those that we have articles on. AnyPerson (talk) 22:45, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I just completely rewrote the article by removing the possible copyvio text and replaced it with Malaysian artists who have Wikipedia pages or whose prospective pages are linked to by other Wikipedia pages. I checked through each artist listed in the copyvio text to see if they met that standard. SMSpivey (talk) 21:08, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * keep. Perfectly good summarization of information.
 * comment. Not very much links to the page.  Robinh (talk) 13:27, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That is probably because the article was first created on December 6, 2008. SMSpivey (talk) 22:51, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
