[edit] Maggie Taylor

Maggie Taylor (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Artist who has made lots of assertions of notability but not one single source to back it up, other than a link to her own website. An anonymous user (most likely the article's creator) removed the prod. Had plenty of time to add sources hasn't done so, does not meet criteria for WP:BIO. WebHamster 01:00, 2 September 2007 (UTC)


I respectfully disagree - Maggie Taylor has pretty impressive credentials as a photographer / artist. She has a pretty well-known book out and was the (controversial) winner of the Santa Fe prize a few years back. If a rank amateur like me has heard of her, she has to be considered notable. I propose removing this tag. Cbaer 01:08, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I just added as many references as I could find easily. Cbaer 01:26, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete as a WP:COPYVIO of her profile in Creative Digital Printmaking: A Photographer's Guide to Professional Desktop Printing (Google Books). Would most likely pass WP:BIO but a new article must be written. --Dhartung | Talk 05:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I have reduced the article to a stub to remove the copyvio. I think she is probably notable and the article can now be rewritten if the sources can be found. --Malcolmxl5 05:31, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Keep based on significant WP:HEY work by Malcolmxl5. --Dhartung | Talk 23:34, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Maggie Taylor is undoubtedly notable and meets WP:BIO. Several citations have been added to deal with the nomination's charge of lack of sources. The article has been reduced to a stub to deal with the copyright violation and the article can now be rewritten from scratch. Would the nom consider withdrawing his nomination? --Malcolmxl5 12:29, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Sure will. Thanks for putting the effort in. --WebHamster 12:45, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Withdraw nomination request - based on the additional work of Malcolmxl5 in cleaning up the article and adding the sources I'd like to withdraw my nomination--WebHamster 12:45, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
