[edit] Notable
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)
[edit] Not encyclopedic
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)
[edit] Copyright violation
This article contains verbatim material from the artist's homepage http://www.benayoun.com/ABio.html biography. --Bejnar 20:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- I removed the copyright violation template, since the web page in question http://www.benayoun.com/ABio.html now contains a release. --Bejnar 02:34, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] answers
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)Florence Besançon
[edit] answers 2
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)Florence Besançon
[edit] Rewrite needed
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)
