Hi Carol,

Before you continue expanding the Andre Fauteux article, can you please wikify what is there already. In its current state it is not easy to read, and looks as though it has been copied and pasted. Please be aware that copyrights are strictly adhered to on Wikipedia. Regards LittleOldMe (talk) 16:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have made a change to the article to form an opening paragraph and to show you the style which is mandated for headings and internal links. Please refer to the Wikipedia guide to layout for more information on the subject.

If you need assistance then please ask. Regards LittleOldMe (talk) 16:33, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Carol Sutton (talk) 13:44, 28 March 2008 (UTC)==Autobiographical information== You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.[reply]

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. LittleOldMe (talk) 17:06, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

IN REPLY TO User LittleOldMe on March 25, 2008.

I am replying here as I am not sure where to apply.

Please do not delete this article on the ground of notability or conflict of interest.

Here are my Points:

1. “If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy” LittleOldMe, March 25, 2008- 2. “This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability.” LittleOldMe, March 25, 2008- Confirmation of artistic importance in public domain documents that is notable and verifiable independent or third party legitimate sources includes: listing in The Canadian Encyclopedia, [The Canadian Encyclopedia article by Clara Hargittay (Andre Fauteux) http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0002740] listing on University websites such as Queens University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada; [Agnes Etherington Art Centre (Andre Fauteux) http://www.queensu.ca/pps/siteart/7.html] and freely available Newspaper archival listings in newspaper articles such as two articles, both of which are online for free public viewing from The New York Times website, that includes; Francis J. Greenburger Foundation Award (1987) - New York Times article online website: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B0DE4DB1431F936A15750C0A961948260 and ‘Art: New Gallery Offers surprising Americana’ by John Russell, Published July 17, 1981. (Excerpt: “There is also a new sculptor Andre Fauteux who is worth looking over.”)

Added profile of artwork made by Andre Fauteux in numerous major museum collections in North American. Such as: The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), Toronto, Ontario, Canada; The Douglas Duncan Collection, National Gallery, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; The Winnipeg Art Gallery, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada; and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts, USA, This should count as acceptably sourced material and external sourced material, within the field of visual arts.

The article on André Fauteux has a neutral tone and is reliably sourced with footnotes.

Lastly and most importantly I believe is the historical importance of creative artistic couples. In response to comment, “You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved.’ LittleOldMe, March 25, 2008.These couples are made up of two individuals who have devoted their entire adult life to the making and pursuit of art. Often these couples enhance, foster, cross exchange their talents and are better artists as the result of their union. I offer a few of these couples as examples, and ask the question, ‘would it not be a loss for history to have Wikipedia reject the writing, insight, and knowledge of one side of a creative pair?’ Frida Kahlo, writes a short article on husband Diego Rivera, Lee Krasner writes a short article on husband Jackson Pollack, Dorothy Dehner (1901 to 1994), a sculptor herself writes a short article on husband David Smith. Or in reverse, Robert Motherwell writes a short article about Helen Frankenthaler. (From 1958 to 1971 he was married to Helen Frankenthaler.) Alfred Stieglitz writes a short article about Georgia O'Keeffe. (Married in 1924) These are but a few examples of histories of famous couples that have had a genuine art world partnership.

Finally I am happy to delete the lower family section of the article and edit it out. And have done so on March 26, 2008. For that matter I am also willing to delete any reference to family in the beginning portion of the article.Therefore, with all due respect, I see no bias or self-promotion. I have not tried to hide my authorship under a pseudonym.

Should I reduce the article to a stub? “The alternatives to deletion should be kept in mind--particularly reducing to a stub. For an article about something obviously important, but which was written with too much COI to easily edit, it is often possible to reduce an article to the basic identifying information.” Lastly I believe my article assumes good faith which is a ‘fundamental principle on Wikipedia'. It is open for anyone to edit. My focus has been on the content and not on self promotion.
