I am editing an artist stub on myself. Someone created it (not me). It's under G.H. Hovagimyan. I also have this user page. As I go along editing my artist stub there are link to such things as video art, new media, sound art etc. That I am very well versed in. I am slowly going along and adding comment and lins where they are appropriate. Is there an editorial process to move the artist stub into a full fledged page? In other words is there a vetting process?
- You have to be careful editing articles on yourself. Generally it is best to stick to just correcting factual information, or providing links, and so forth, lest it be considered vanity and put up for deletion. If you provide independent sourcing for information you add, it could save you some pain in the long run should someone question the notability or encyclopedic nature of the article.
- As for stubs, there is no real set rule as to when an article is no longer considered a stub. It generally is just when someone well versed in the topic believes that the subject is covered to some degree of what could be considered "completion". It is a judgement call, if under dispute, could be discussed on the article's talk page. To unstub something, all you have to do is remove the template from the bottom of the article and save. -Dawson 20:26, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
