Caminos clearly has excellent PR, demonstrated by the above citations, but it would be helpful to see more detailed and objective reviews of her work. It would also probably help if discussion of her projects and businesses themselves, could be distinguished from analysis of her role in them. --Northernhenge (talk) 11:10, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for these suggestions. To me, it still reads more like a CV than an encycolpedia article. For example "noted for her significant contributions at the confluence of art, culture, and environmental advocacy. She is best known for her pioneering work..." doesn't sound neutral or objective, and "beginning at 16 under the mentorship of Latin American masters like..." sounds promotional, as does "Her work has been highlighted by media outlets such as...".

Instead of drafting and redrafting here, would it be better to delete the article and then draft a new one using the tool in Wikipedia:Articles for creation? That would be a good place for relevant editors to work on the article until it can be proposed for acceptance. Let's see what other editors think first though. --Northernhenge (talk) 15:36, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot!!! I understand! PelayoRedactor (talk) 15:40, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I’ve posted it at Articles for Deletion. Let’s see what happens! --Northernhenge (talk) 16:16, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
