Talk:Mary White (ceramicist and calligrapher)

Untitled

I am new to Wikipedia, but would like to note that the calligrapher Mary White has an established international repuation within her feild. Bembo Bold (talk) 19:59, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Notability

No doubt there will be an AfD tag before too long. I would suggest notability is established here on at least two counts from WP:BIO policy:

• The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique.

The combination of lettering as an integral part of ceramic design has been extended significantly by her work.

• The person's work either [...] (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums,

Calligrapher cat

Should this article be cat'ed into Calligraphers or British calligraphers? IMHO, the more general category is better.

• It's not a large category. There's no reason to push down into sub-categories just for space reasons.

• She's Welsh by birth, not English. Britain and England are conflated far too often on Wikipedia, particularly with its American-centric viewpoint and lack of regional understanding. If there was a category for Welsh calligraphers, that would be a different matter.

• Her calligraphic work was mainly done in Germany, not the UK.

Overall I'd support "Welsh calligraphers" or "European calligraphers" or even "Occidental language calligraphers", but not British.

See WP:CAT. Add her to German calligraphers too if you feel it appropriate. We have an English sub-cat, which obviously she is not in. Johnbod (talk) 11:25, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou for the link to WP:CAT, I can't believe I've never read that before. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:56, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
