Talk:Sara Radstone

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because --RSLLX (talk) 14:35, 17 November 2020 (UTC) it is the first on Wikipedia regarding the eminent ceramicist Sara Radstone. She has been a practicing artist and has lectured in the UK and internationally for 40 years; her work is exhibited around the world and documented in many publications; her work and ideas have been influential among her peers and students; in 2017-2018 her career was celebrated in a retrospective exhibition at York Art Gallery's Centre of Ceramic Art. For the last 26 years she has taught on the highly respected Ceramics Diploma Course at the City Lit in London. Her life's work should no longer be omitted from the pages of Wikipedia, where many of her important contemporaries - such as Julian Stair, with whom she once set up a studio - can be found. Many students, past and present, have highlighted the absence of a Wikipedia page about her work when searching online for academic purposes. This article was researched and written by RSLXX, a long time admirer of her work. RSLLX (talk) 14:35, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

The subject is clearly notable - see for example the profile in Modern British Potters & Their Studios, by David Whiting, and the York retrospective. Johnbod (talk) 15:40, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

RSLLX Please add citations for each paragraph in the lede, Teaching, Work, and Exhibitions. If there is no reliable source for the information, consider removing it. You may want to read Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Essays/Primer for creating women's biographies. Thanks WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 20:38, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi WAU, Johnbod - I removed the tag, as all seems to be fine now, with the exception of the biblo - which given the area she works in would never be available on line, and the Anthony Shaw quotes. Re Shaw, I'm undecided, on the one hand he is notable himself, on the other hand as he has been collecting her work of course he would say that, even though its appropriately descriptive. Anyways, I don't doubt that he said these things, all that OP has posted checks out so far. If RSLLX is reading can you email me a copy of the exact source...if you don't know how say so here and will explain....otherwise there is alternative, but similar flowery text by Whiting on Shaw's website[1]....I don't really care which.

Exhibitions etc

Moving here from article...once citations are established, can be moved back into a dedicated "exhibitions" section. Ceoil (talk) 22:04, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm not attached to restoring these, epically to the lead...it can be assumed that if an artist was displayed at the V&A, they have had a series of earlier showings. Ceoil (talk) 23:19, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Also moving here....pending verification...then can be moved back. Ceoil (talk) 10:52, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Pictures

I've only scanned this article but I am concerned that the pictures are not permitted on wiki as Sara Radstone would have to give explicit permission - unless these 3d pieces of art are on permanent display in some public space. Victuallers (talk) 23:58, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

I agree. While photographs of three-dimensional objects almost always generate a new copyright, Radstone may continue to hold copyright in items depicted in such photographs. See Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Photographs Vexations (talk) 16:49, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

[2] explains (not fantastically clearly) how the copyright release can be made. It might be necessary for both Sara Radstone and the photographer to do this for their respective rights. If this can be done, more photos would of course be very welcome. Johnbod (talk) 17:02, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Publications section?

What is this section? Is it a list of publications which mention her? In which case I question wether we need it and if we do it needs to be re-titled further reading. Theroadislong (talk) 13:47, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

I think it's an unsorted mixture of things about her, by her, and mentioning her. Worth keeping, but maybe as FR. Johnbod (talk) 15:04, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
