I have moved this thread from my IP talk page so that others can participate — 72.75.72.63 ( talk · contribs) 00:56, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
I stumbled across these articles recently created by ArleArt ( talk · contribs):
OK ... there's more of these than I thought (prolific little bugger!) ... apparently, this editor has single-handedly populated Category:Cuban contemporary artists, since they all seem to have the same introduction ... I'm using the Warn-bio protocol and tracking them while I do cleanups and try to assist the editor, who apparently speaks English as a second language ... here's the stencil I'm using:
{{Articleissues |cleanup=February 2008 |notability=February 2008 |orphan=February 2008 |unreferenced=February 2008 |wikify=February 2008 |copyedit=February 2008 }}{{grammar}}

I posted the following on several other editors' talk pages ...
Hello, Cuban contemporary artists ... since you participated in this CfD, I wonder if you would care to comment on this posting at WP:COI/N regarding the plethora of unsourced articles created by ArleArt ( talk · contribs) to populate this category that they created ...

Some Other Editor has located 147 pages on en.wiki created by ArleArt ( talk · contribs) with the same linkspam to www.cubancontemporaryart.com/ ... this has also been brought to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. — 72.75.72.63 ( talk) 18:53, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
{{
Warn-article}}
on the first couple of dozen, but I won't bother to leave beau coup copies of {{
Warn-editor}}
on their talk page ... after a week, I may {{
Prod}}
a few to see if that generates any interest in improving them, but I don't think that any of them qualify for
A7 speedy delete, and I'm not interested enough to take any of them to
AfD unless it's as a mass deletion that lists at least a dozen articles ,e.g., no
Google hits except to the aforementioned spam site & Wikipedia (these articles are listed on Google already!) ... but that's a project for Some Other day, since like
DGG, I'm dealing with a family medical emergency at the moment, and
ohana must always come First ... Happy Editing! —

03:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)I have placed {{
Warn-article}}
on the Discussion pages of all 19 articles listed above ... I'll come back Some Other Time and add the appropriate {{
Articleissues}}
tags on their Main pages. —

Most of the ones in the list above have been deleted either by dated {{

or {{

... here is a new list from contributions by

I have put {{
Warn-article}}
on each of the articles' discussion pages, but since
ArleArt appears to be MIA, I will not bother with {{
Warn-editor}}
tags, but instead will let
BJBot update it with PROD and AfD notifications ... I have also identified some support editors:
I will add more editors to contact (and another list of PRODs) Real Soon Now ... Happy Editing! — 72.75.72.63 ( talk · contribs) 07:05, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Out of the 15 artists who are sorted into A-D in this category, I found some info from Google that might help show their notability. I was not impressed by anything I found for the other 11, and wouldn't object if those articles were deleted. Note that the articles shown in A-D in the category listing are usually sorted by the first name.
For an artist to be included in www.cubancontemporaryart.com I believe is not a distinction. It looks to me that it's a paid advertising site; it's not the same as being featured in a gallery.

It would be helpful if others who are interested in this group of artists could scan further down through the category and see what they can turn up via Google. I'm willing to do a default 'Keep' on anybody where the WP article is not the #1 hit on their name! Out of all the painters checked out recently, Rubén Torres Llorca is the star (of Google) since his Wikipedia article is the #6 hit on his name! EdJohnston ( talk) 02:35, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Please add new debates to the top here and paste the template {{subst:LVD}} on the actual AfD page to render:
It will automatically insert your name (and not my name!). Tyrenius ( talk) 17:37, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
I looked at this some time ago. I checked the web site which was on all the articles and it seemed like vanity site, so I presumed the artists in the article would be taken from it. However, the ones I checked I didn't find on it. I did find them on the Spanish wiki and the articles on here looked like a translation. I concluded the web site was being spammed, but not the artists, who were a WP:Coatrack for the site. This will need to be checked more thoroughly, but I hope it may be a help. Tyrenius ( talk) 04:42, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
See this page or an alternative approach to the problem, namely list all the articles, get a team of editors and over a period of time work through them, either approving or suggesting for deletion. If it's an obvious case, then admins on the team can do a speedy delete. Tyrenius ( talk) 17:40, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
{{

to all of those article, but for now I'm confining myself to adding {{
Warn-article}}
and Project tags on the talk pages. :-) —

09:46, 3 February 2008 (UTC)Well, I tried, and no one else seemed interested, so it's time for me to MOVE ON ...
