A friendly tip. Take a look at WP:DUPCAT. A painter shouldn't typically be placed in the Category:Painters directly. If he is Belgian consider placing him in Category:Belgian painters. More generally, if a suitable subcategory is available prefer it over the parent category (unless the parent is distinguishable in its own right).--Shahab (talk) 22:38, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Jef Van Campen

The article Jef Van Campen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

* Delete - Seems to fail WP:ARTIST

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
