Proposed deletion of Erik Sigerud

Hello, Artkritik. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Erik Sigerud, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Erik Sigerud to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks,

Ways to improve Kristina Jansson

Speedy deletion nomination of Kristina Jansson

Hello Artkritik,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kristina Jansson for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

deletions

Hi Artkritik, I've noticed that some of your contribution have been nominated for deletion. I nominated Erik Sigerud myself because it had no references. I think you can avoid those deletions if you gave yourself a bit more time and worked with other editors to bring the articles up to our standards for inclusion before moving them out of Draft space yourself. Your use of Articles for Creation is a bit unusual. I'd offer some lengthy advice or point to a long list of guidelines and essays, but before I do that, let me ask: are you interested discussing how you submit articles? All the best, Mduvekot (talk) 17:30, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mduvekot: Hi Mduvekot. Thank you for your message. I am new to Wikipedia editing and I would gladley receive help and guidelines. Best regards, Artkritik Artkritik (talk) 21:05, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Artkritik Great. I noticed that when you started Andreas Eriksson (visual artist) and Kristina Jansson, you use a template that indicates that you would like to use the Articles for Creation process and that you have used the Article wizard to do so. What you do not appear to do however is submit the page for review. Did you have trouble submitting those articles for review, or did you decide to skip the review process?

Articles for Creation is backlogged, so it can take a long time to get someone to review an article and move it to Article space for you. The AfC reviewers will (try to) make sure that an article that they accept meets our criteria for inclusion. For example, an article about a living person must have references. Basically an AfC reviewer publishes an article on your behalf and says "I think the result of a deletion deletion discussion would be Keep". If you skip that step, and move the article yourself, New page reviewers like me, who review new articles as part of New pages patrol will notice that. AfC is optional for registered users who do not have a conflict of interest, but NPP is not. Almost every new article (there are some exceptions) goes through NPP, and New page reviewers will consider a large number of criteria. A review goes something like this: [1]. Do you want to go over some of the issues with the articles and see if we can fix them? Mduvekot (talk) 21:53, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mduvekot: Thank you for enlightening me on my mistakes. I missed that I was supposed to submit the articles for review. Thank you for informing me on the process. If you have the time, please help me fix my articles. I was planning on publishing a few other articles on Swedish artists and next time I will be more careful to follow the correct procedures.

I made some small changes to Andreas Eriksson (visual artist). I hope they are self-explanatory. The thing that concerned me most was Andreas Eriksson is considered one of Sweden's more eminent artists. That may be true, but unless we know who considers him that, we can't say that, and even then, it's a pretty meaningless statement. Not only that, the cited article does not support that claim in any way. It does say other things that could be used "Focusing on the landscape that surrounds his studio" can be used to support "inspired by the nature around his ~~home~~studio". You could paraphrase "Andreas Eriksson monumental paintings hark back to the Sublime in Northern European painting", and "Eriksson also pushes toward abstraction with his overriding concern for pictorial surface."

@Mduvekot: One of my articles was automatically deleted. Do you know about this. Apparently, this subject had been entered before and deleted, but this is the article I put the most effort in.

Hey Artkritik Yes, I do, assuming you are talking about Erik Sigerud. An article about him has been deleted several times, for various reasons. You can see them all here: [2]. I understand how frustrating it is to find something you have invested a lot of time and energy in deleted. I really hope you don't let this dissuade you from continuing to contribute to Wikipedia. If you have what you believe to be good sources, can you show them to me? I can let you know if I think they are sufficient to sustain an article. Mduvekot (talk) 23:02, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mduvekot: I see. I saw the deleted pages now. I have found at least three links, one of which is in Swedish:
