Banksy was a good article, but it was removed from the list as it no longer met the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated. Review: August 20, 2007.

I think it should have Category:Unidentified people so that it shows up there. 173.183.226.212 ( talk) 02:20, 13 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Not done. He's in Category:Pseudonymous artists. As for his identity, media has named him and made some identification, see the Identity section in the article, so Category:Unidentified people is too far reaching. -- Mvqr ( talk) 11:20, 13 April 2023 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia style guides discourage Criticism/Controversy sections. It would be better to have a "Reception" section that contains positive, negative and neutral appraisals of his work. Ashmoo ( talk) 13:19, 20 July 2023 (UTC) reply
