Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Ann Grocott

From Ann Grocott: Your excellent editor, Possibly, added sources which amazed me (being old and hardly literate when it comes to this electronic age)thank you Possibly. As Possibly made the old site much more interesting what else is there to do? I was told that I could not add anything to my site, my late father's site, or my late uncle's site, because I was "family". Isn't it enough to be a Australian artist and a writer (whose work went into translation)? Why would you want to delete my site? Will you be deleting the two templates on the Ann Grocott site? --Enoneo (talk) 03:48, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Deus et lex. Thank you. I come from an entirely different "media" landscape. When I returned to Australia in 1980 and started writing and painting seriously no-one had even heard of personal computers, let alone the internet. Everyone read newspapers. In my press records are heaps of stuff, both for my writing and painting. That was your "notability" for the next 20 years, or so. My CV lists 45 press write-ups just for painting (some of them of several pages) and there is older stuff, including many reviews for my books. Never put online. I have piles of letters (remember those?) from young readers all over, written and illustrated in their own hand! I still don't know how to put up a Wikipedia site but, when the one who did mine, died, I learned to edit, but "sources" were beyond me. Re your request: there is an 8-page brochure commissioned by the Bundaberg Regional Gallery called "Ann Grocott.  A Survey 1981 - 1998" written by a Melbourne-based art consultant which was given away, free, at the Gallery. Not online, of course, but the Gallery may be able to send you screen-shots of the pages, if you are interested. --Enoneo (talk) 00:19, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Have you checked "The Oxford Companion to Australian Children's Literature"? You could add that to the References. Also the Melbourne-based art consultant (above mentioned) his name is David Ellis and the brochure is copyrighted to the Gallery.--Enoneo (talk) 23:49, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

As well as adding the Oxford book to References, I ask that you add the following: "Fly for livet, MICKY" by Ann Grocott, Pub:  Wahlstroms, 1987, ISBN 91-32-12837-1 and also:  "Fridas farlige faerd" by Ann Grocott, Pub: Tellerup, 1989  ISBN 87-588-0358-0--Enoneo (talk) 02:09, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
