Directions for expanding any division below[edit]
The general outline and collection has been started, but if you would like to expand and organize a discipline, here's what you do. Right below the page heading for the discipline insert this: {{subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Work groups/Division banner}} and save. This will put a rough outline together for you and then you can edit it to conform to your area. See Writers and critics below for an example. If your project grows large enough where it's taking up a good portion of this page, you should probably move it to a subpage of this page.
You might also want to make a Members section for people to join your specific area!
Tagging articles[edit]
Any article related to this work group should be marked by adding |a&e-work-group=yes to the {{WPBiography}} project banner at the top of its talk page. This will automatically place it into Category:Arts and entertainment work group articles. Articles can be assessed for priority within this work group by using the |a&e-priority= parameter. See Template:WikiProject Biography/doc for detailed instructions on how to use the banner.

Visual arts[edit]Anthony Sabuneti[edit]
PROD'd and dePROD'd earlier today. Original PROD reasoning: Searched Google, GBooks, GNews, AllAfrica.com, and found nothing about this sculptor except profiles on commercial art sales sites. The ref given in the article is a good example of the kind of unreliable sources I found - it's a group that sells sculptures so it has a direct commercial interest in the subject and is therefore not independent. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST. (This article is also a somewhat apparent paraphrase of the source, but not quite enough that I was comfortable G12ing it). De-PROD'd after the addition of three sources. I am of the opinion that they don't indicate that the subject meets NARTIST at all. The two sources from the Herald (via AllAfrica.com) are simply mentions of his name in the context of other things. The one from news day spends all of two sentences mentioning the subject. It's not enough to keep an article. Merely exhibiting, even in one notable museum, doesn't meet point 4 of NARTIST; the exhibit itself has to be significant. Otherwise the works have to be permanently in the collection of several notable galleries or museums. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 10:21, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Authors[edit]Mohshin Habib[edit]
Doesn’t comply with GNG, ANYBIO and lacks of CCS and NPV. It claims notability as column writers, translators, and Gatestone writer. Gatestone itself is accused of bias writings and is not considered as viable source. — T. 18:12, 19 November 2018 (UTC) Things to consider: This article could also be a case of YOURSELF. Both of the main contributors worked only on this article. — T. 18:32, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
Chris Westphal[edit]
no indication of WP:notability. Apparently originally created as an autobiography, most of the references given either do not mention him or only in passing. There is one reference to a local business award with a grand sounding name but little behind it. Google searches not finding any significant coverage. noq (talk) 13:18, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
Christine Weick[edit]
Much as it may delight us to document the crazy antics of this lady, the only incident that gained any mainstream attention at all was the original slushie-throwing incident, and even that only made HuffPo, scarcely a neutral commentator on right wing people. The rest of the sources are garbage and Google shows nothing better. Guy (Help!) 21:15, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
Néstor Barron[edit]
Tagged with multiple issues since January, promotional (hugely so) and almost certainly COI, no relaible independent sources and none in Google either, just PR and similar non-RS. Guy (Help!) 23:26, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
Tony Thacker[edit]
Fails WP:NBIO. No significant coverage found for this book author. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 04:12, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
Jat Mehar Singh Dahiya[edit]
Fails WP:ANYBIO, WP:NAUTHOR and WP:GNG. A sole mention of an event commemorating him at Dainik Bhaskar and another trivial mention over an unreliable POV-ppushing op-ed at India Times. ∯WBGconverse 07:13, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
Kevin Michael Grace[edit]
Fails WP:BIO. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 05:29, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
Vincent F. A. Golphin[edit]
Fails notability guidelines at WP:AUTHOR and WP:ACADEMIC. PROD contested. There's Google hits but no news, no good sources about him. When debating notability amongst authors, it's not what they write but what reliable sources write about them. The two references quotes as demonstrating his notability in the contesting of the PROD were both press releases. Ifnord (talk) 20:29, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
Curt Weiss[edit]
Potentially not notable, failing WP:BIO. No single secondary source established bona fides. Seems to be a mix of name drops, Non RS and sources from own book. scope_creep (talk) 22:40, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
Dave Kelley[edit]
Appears to be a non-notable autobiography that has lasted 12 years. A WP:BEFORE search turns up no reliable, independent sources, so this fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG. In addition, this BLP is completely unsourced; I've tried to remove some of the more controversial statements, but the only way to really get them all out would be to blank the article. Even if this were notable, I would still suggest blowing it all up and starting over. SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 20:16, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Garous Abdolmalekian[edit]
No evidence of notability. The only sources are a translation of one of his poems, and interviews with his translator Idra Novey. Nothing reliable, verifiable, or independent. Cabayi (talk) 17:11, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Josh Robert Nay[edit]
Promotional article about a subject with no coverage in independent reliable sources, does not meet WP:GNG. Having published one short story anthology that does not appear to be available anywhere and a poetry collection with a vanity publisher does not meet WP:NAUTHOR. The subject has won a "Golden Web Award" for website design, which appears to be a non-notable award that does not satisfy WP:NBIO. signed, Rosguill talk 15:43, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Lance Guma[edit]AfDs for this article:
Fails WP:GNG and WP:JOURNALIST. References in the article is a non independent source that does not even cover the subject. Nothing in my search comes up as a WP:SIGCOV, WP:SECONDARY, reliable or independent of the subject. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 11:30, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Waleed Shahid[edit]
WP:BLP of a writer and political organizer, not properly sourced as notable. As always, writers and organizers are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, but the references here aren't cutting it in terms of getting him over WP:GNG: the media coverage here comprises glancing namechecks of his existence in articles about other things, not coverage about him, and the only references that are about him to any non-trivial degree are WP:PRIMARYSOURCES (e.g. an Instagram post). This is not how you source a political organizer as notable enough for an article: he needs to be the subject of media coverage, not just have his name show up in news articles about other subjects that aren't him, to get over GNG. Bearcat (talk) 07:04, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Aaron Carotta[edit]AfDs for this article:
I don't believe that this subject is notable. Alot of puff pieces. Alot of dead links. ManWithDrink (talk) 21:22, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a writer, whose only apparent claim of notability per WP:AUTHOR is that he and his work exist. Of the 12 footnotes here, six of them are to his books' own promotional profiles on the website of their own publisher, while another is his own faculty profile on the website of his own employer -- so none of these are independent sources for the purpose of establishing notability. And while the other five are media, there's one (City Pages) that just briefly namechecks his existence in the context of having been a member of a non-notable local bar band in the 1990s, and two dead links (Bristol Evening Post and Bloomberg) that are unretrievable even via the Wayback Machine to determine how much they ever actually did or didn't say about him, so none of those are helping to establish notability either.

None of the independent provided sources are more than mere mentions of the subject, does not pass WP:GNG. Furthermore, Google Scholar searches returned no evidence that the subject's work is widely cited, and I tried searching both for several different forms of the subject's name, and specifically for their listed publications and those that supposedly were influenced by them–the fact that the article only cites one other author of dubious notability as the subject's legacy leads me to believe that this subject does not pass WP:NACADEMIC and WP:NAUTHOR. signed, Rosguill talk 17:46, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
