[edit] Autistic artist

Autistic artist (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Autistic artist is redundant to the article, autistic art. It is an uncited essay, with little content that can't be or isn't included at autistic art, and which provides little more than advert weblinks to artists, several of whom don't appear notable. The notable artists can be added to autistic art, and this article should be deleted. To quote editor Jfdwolff, "If 'autistic art' is definitely a recognised type of art, are all autistic people who practice art automatically 'autistic artists' or practicioners of 'autistic art'?" We don't need articles on autistic musicians, autistic scientistists, autistic footballing, etc., when we already have List of people on the autistic spectrum.

• Redirect to autistic art, from which it seems to be a content fork so that it can read more like an essay with personal opinion thrown in. --Dhartung | Talk 02:53, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect/Delete The page was originally created in the plural and was perhaps intended to be a List of autistic artists. I agree with Sandy that the List of people on the autistic spectrum can contain any such notable artists and that any artists who could truly have said to have made a significant contribution to the subject of autistic art could be mentioned in that article. (BTW: Sandy, I've corrected what I think was a typo in your text) Colin°^Talk 14:04, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect. The sourced text has already been merged; the rest is an unsourced essay, original research, opinion. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:25, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
