Untitled[edit]

Hi, all. Thank you in advance for helping us improve this article! Many contemporary artists do not come with a substantive amount of third party resources. We've done our best to add diversity to our resources but much of the information came from a single book on the work and life of the artist. Mlynch345 (talk) 20:01, 17 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with duplicate article[edit]

The other article Wang Jian-wei predates this one slightly and the name is more in line than this with standard anglicisation of Chinese names but this article is much larger with more sources. What seems to be best is this article's content under the other article's name. Thoughts? Eustachiusz (talk) 12:14, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eustachiusz. I think we should merge the older article with the new one. I'm not sure that Wang Jian-wei is his preferred spelling. His website and every place he is mentioned does not include the hyphen. Mlynch345 (talk) 17:34, 21 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done Wang Jian-wei was merged into Wang Jianwei. --Neo-Jay (talk) 09:29, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removed tags[edit]

Ok, spent some time on this article removing the subjective /advertising tone and making it more neutral. I think, for the most part I succeeded, but happy for help. Additionally, I re-organized the content to more closely match other BLP's of fine artists. Finally I took off the citation tag, primarily because being from mainland china would have dampened his ability to get regular artworld press. With that said, I do think he is deserving of a BLP, with a showing at the Guggenheim being a significant accomplisment.

Removed the following tags:
