Removing notices[edit]

All these calligraphers are already present in Wikipedia. All but a small number even have individual articles. Therefore, I am removing the ref.-needed notices. Kdammers 01:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Change to Redirect[edit]

This was a manual list of calligraphers already present on Wikipedia. I converted this to a redirect to the calligraphers category, which automatically creates a dynamic list of all calligraphers. Maintaining a manual list is kind of pointless as this can be done automatically. Lexlex (talk) 23:58, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agree for reasons given Saga City (talk) 07:31, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article is useless and more trouble than it's worth. I agree with Lexlex. Asoer (talk) 12:00, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How does a category automatically create a list? I would like to know for possible use with other subjects.Kdammers (talk) 09:24, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do not merge[edit]

I think a list of calligraphers is useful, but I think it would make the calligraphy article (there is not calligrapher article) too messy.Kdammers (talk) 09:24, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
