Talk:Maurice Benayoun

message: A brief look at published works in Google Books shows that Maurice Benayoun is notable as an artist.--Bejnar 20:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Notable

message: This article is not laid out in accordance with the Wikipedia:Manual of Style.  Long lists of works shown and works produced is not helpful, in fact could be considered trivial.  How are these individual works notable?  There are no page numbers listed for the references.  Since these are all about larger topics, does Benayoun rate a mere mention, a single sentence, a paragraph, or a chapter?  How much of the material is from these publications?  An initial look indicates that the material in the article is mostly not available from the listed references. --Bejnar 20:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Not encyclopedic

message: This article contains verbatim material from the artist's homepage http://www.benayoun.com/ABio.html biography. --Bejnar 20:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Copyright violation

message: I understand your point of view. So I can bring some answers:
I mentioned in my previous version of the article the origin of a big part of it: MB web site. 
This has been done after asking MB for autorisation.
I can bring this autorisation to you but I don't know how you want it.
I'm thinking about rewriting some parts, I already checked most of the data
I agree that we could reduce the list of works but many people like to know that they will find the detailed list of works on wikipedia.
I can provide the pages of the mentioned publications. I already have limited this list that is not on MB web site.FlorenceBesanon 21:35, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: after Bejnar reply, I asked Maurice Benayoun if there is any copyright on his web site. He added the "copyleft" tag on his bio web page. That confirm that the content is made to be used. I'm working on an impoved and more personnal version of the article. FlorenceBesanon 22:39, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: This article needs a total rewrite to make it encyclopedic. Because it is copied from the subject's website the tone is unencyclopedic. Some of the grammar is incomprehensible as well. The long, resume-like lists need pruning. BuddingJournalist 13:16, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rewrite needed 

message: Thanks for checking if tags are still relevant.

thread_title: the article has been modified 

message: I have moved some things around in this article so it is more encyclopedic and biographical rather than just a resume of how great this artist is.  It need a little more work.  But this is better.Seth J. Frantzman 19:42, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: This article is still a promotional train wreck. The maintenance tags should remain until the issues are actually fixed. MrOllie (talk) 17:20, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

text: Not trolling, no. This article is full of promotional text from top to bottom, and is poorly sourced to boot. Are you associated with this artist in some way? At any rate, I have submitted this article to AFD, as I'm not sure it belongs on Wikipedia at all, and that question ought to be settled before I go to the trouble of cleaning up this mess.

text: Are you connected to this artist? Is whomever was posting as 144.214.222.86? (I asked but they avoided answering) It seems that single purpose editors are still watching this page. - MrOllie (talk) 03:22, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
