Category talk:Cuban contemporary artists/Checklist

message: During the Summer and Fall of 2007, Single-purpose account  created over 150 articles to populate the :Category:Cuban contemporary artists (which they also created) ... this became the subject of a WP:COI/N discussion, where the Consensus was that (a) they all contained the same linkspam URL, and (b) a bot removed the external links from 147 articles that were in the category ... User:ArleArt never responded, and has been MIA since December, 2007.
Since then, many of the articles have been deleted, either through A7 speedy delete, dated  or WP:AFD ... as it turns out, a lot of these articles are clones of articles from the Spanish Wikipedia (also created by the same WP:SPA, sometimes the very same day), containing the same spam links ... many of them have also been either reverted or deleted as non-notable. 
This "checklist" is for managing the 117 remaining articles as of 20:49, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

message: * Articles without a redlink for their talk page may already have a  or  tag placed on them by Some Other Editor. 
** Please add the date of a PROD or an AFD, and use strikeout when you decline a PROD. 
* Articles flagged with "†" appear to be cloned translations of the Spanish Wikipedia.
* Articles flagged with "‡" have had a  added, meaning that Some Other Editor thinks that the article should be deleted.
BTW,  is an example of an article with Very Good WP:RS to WP:V the WP:N of the subject ... it just needs some cleanups. :-) —72.75.72.63 (talk) 05:26, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

have contributed to this "Cuban artists" checklist (although there have been limited dialogs on some talk pages) ... some of them either initiated or declined PRODs, and I have asked them politely to record their actions on the checklist (like renaming/merging articles) … I mean, declining a seconded PROD without even an edit summary? What's up with that?
Well, I'm sick of playing Sisyphus and cleaning up after them, so I have deleted these articles from my watchlist, and Some Other Editor can maintain/update it … or not.
In any event, it is time for me to MOVE ON. :-)

message: As part of the postmortem before I evaporate from this (aborted) Project, I'm going to copy this sandbox checklist to :Category talk:Cuban contemporary artists/Checklist, and flag a few of the "untouched" articles with the "Cleanup needed" boilerplate and "Articleissues" boilerplate just to make sure that they work correctly. —72.75.72.63 (talk) 22:09, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
