Is the importance of Meralda Warren as 'artist' really so great that she qualifies for a wikipedia entry? or is it because she happens to be worldfamous in Pitcairn. I am sure there are other small communities who have an artist who is at least as qualified as Meralda Warren. That Warren had criticism on the sexual abuse is a known fact, but many had, either pro or contra. Are they all getting a Lemma? What she had to say abt it was her personal opinion and could easily be countered by the fact that the court decided that British law alsways had been law on pitcairn. Apparently Warren herself - as witnessed by this very lemma- that there was underage sex. That she had no problem with it doesnt mean other girls had no problem with it. One of her critics is Brenda Christian, a former Mayor who took office after her brother Steve Christian and the prior mayor, was arrested for child abuse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.159.130.241 (talk) 21:25, 2 January 2015 (UTC)Reply


I don't know about artist, but the verse of hers that is quoted pretty much proves she isn't a poet. Aredbeardeddwarf (talk) 22:17, 21 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Rework Lead to put what is most significant earlier in it - the first book in Pitkern and English. If she is most recognized as an artist and poet, that should be emphasized.Parkwells (talk) 13:52, 22 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
