[edit] Portraiture and biographies

This was created by an anon five months ago, and tagged for cleanup almost immediately. At the time it seemed to me that it wasn't really an appropriate Wikipedia article — it's more of a chunk out of some other article. I didn't know what to do with it, though, and so I left a note at Talk:Woman asking for guidance (which shows how naive I was at that stage in my Wikipedia career). There was no response, and it's still there, untouched except for an extra space, and a title-change to correct capitalisation. If anyone can suggest an article for it to be merged to, fine — but otherwise I think that it needs to be put out of its misery. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:27, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. POV feminist dogma. This could be a worthwhile article but it would need a lot of cleanup, discussion of pros and cons, illustrations, examples, etc. Since no one has cleaned it up in five months, dump it. If reposted as a balanced, complete article, it would be worth keeping. ♠ DanMS 22:07, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Additional comment: It needs a better title also. I'm not sure what it should be but the vague title doesn't adequately describe the subject matter. The subject matter is something like “Depiction of women in art and literature”—but that’s not really a very good title either. ♠ DanMS 22:16, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
