Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthony Thomas White
Strongly agree with Asbestos that derogatory comments about people or their work have no place on AfD. There are criteria for deletion which should be respected. One of them is not an editor's personal opinions of artistic worth. This is specifically cautioned against as |OR. It therefore represents an illicit attempt to influence the outcome of a debate that should be conducted strictly from a |NPOV, and shows no respect for the process or other editors. It is also apparent from the disparaging comments made (e.g. on Pollock) that the editors making them have little knowledge of are indulging in a strong |POV on the subject, which only makes it even more embarrassing for those of us who are trying to strengthen the art presence on Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Arts|WikiProject Arts and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Visual_arts|WikiProject_Visual_arts for a start. Ignorant Such comments are likely to be seen as ignorant by those versed in the field and will merely discourage new editors with genuine knowledge them from contributing. Thank you
