List of artists from the MACBA collection

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

lists of artists represented in museum collections are not appropriate for a WP list, as they amount to a directory, which is identical to the museum's website listing. a list of important works, or special exhibits, would be appropriate here. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:29, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete This is a terrible idea for a list. It's just a wall of names with no context. The article for MACBA could have a section on select artists or even better notable works in the collection and likewise that article has an external link with this information. This is just a directory and has no encyclopedic value.  freshacconci  talk talk  20:44, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Not what we're here for. I presume all this is available on the official website, and they will have more chance of keeping up to date. Yes, it is http://www.macba.cat/en/index-artists and there's no reason to mirror it here. I'm not sure whether a list of names would fall under copyvio, but we don't really need it anyway.
