Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (The copyright information will be submitted later today via the copyright holder. He will be submitting the OTRS for both pictures and information provided here. Slagard ) --Eusophryne (talk) 18:39, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to being a copyright violation, the article was also blatantly promotional in nature and has been deleted as such. Rule of thumb - if you are using the same marketing and promotional material on Wikipedia as is used to promote the artist on their own website then the article is overly-promotional. --Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 19:24, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

False,

Using a "history of an artist" as background for them is clearly non-promotional. There are no ads or discussion about selling artwork so ever. By using a history of an artist as seen on a dedication page for the artist, it only reflects an interest to explain the background of the artist overall.

Please read WP:NPOV - it is important as the tone of this article is decidedly not neutral. A random selection of NPOV policy-violating and inappropriate prose includes:

"Her superb color sense has always been Amanda’s trademark"
"Her female subjects, not matter how abstract their portrayal, always seem to be real people; and we, the viewer, feel forced to question: who are they, and why do they speak so clearly to us" (dear Lord)
"Amanda always knew she was an artist, but life kept getting in her way"
"where she was thought to be a gifted and talented instructor"
"Traditionally abstract expressionist and very much in the main stream of painting at the time, these large canvasses today have the effect of anchoring the viewer firmly in the times"
"A lithographer of some renown...the artist felt very comfortable in the complex and demanding medium of print-making"

I am not implying that Block is not worthy of a Wikipedia article, but this is not an encyclopedia article, it is a puff piece. --Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 18:38, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
