Ihyland - CONFLICT OF INTEREST

edit

"Ihyland" is Hyland Mather. This seems like a conversation should take place as to whether or not this article should stay posted. Lacks true notability and/or conflict of interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.170.50 (talk) 04:20, 2 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your post, however you forgot to sign your post and don't have a named account or active talk page, which means we don't know who you are. I – who have no connection to Amanda Marie – originally put this article through when it was submitted to Articles for creation (Afc) and to my mind it satisfied criteria for inclusion. It has 31 references and substantial listings of exhibitions so the artist would appear to meet notability guidelines for artists. This is an unproven allegation you make and I would say that Ihyland is fairly clear on their user page that their remit is to create articles on artists – they are currently drafting an article on another Colorado artist and taking their time over it, as they did with this article if you look at its history. Apart from creating the original draft of this article, which was then quite substantially amended and checked by other editors before and after being put through, they have not made substantial alterations. I don't believe a conflict of interest flag would be appropriate at this point based on the facts outlined above and we should all be mindful of the guidance at the top of this page about being very careful when it comes to biographies of living people not to include contentious or potentially libellous material. For that reason, I've removed a sentence from your original post as Talk pages are included in the guidance. Libby norman (talk) 10:29, 2 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
The IP's comment should be redacted and this message left on their Talk page instead, considering it is against Wikipedia policy to 'out' other editors! Sionk (talk) 12:48, 2 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
