Here are some steps to follow when creating a Wikipedia page for an artist:
Determine if the artist meets Wikipedia’s notability criteria. Wikipedia requires that all articles meet certain standards of notability, meaning that the subject of the article must have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This can include news articles, books, academic journals, and other reputable sources. If the artist has not received significant coverage in these types of sources, they may not be eligible for a Wikipedia page.
Conduct research and gather sources. Before creating a Wikipedia page, you should gather as much information as possible about the artist and their work. This includes their biography, artistic career, notable exhibitions or performances, and any awards or honors they have received. You should also gather reliable sources that provide information about the artist, such as news articles, interviews, and scholarly articles.
Create a Wikipedia account. In order to create a Wikipedia page, you will need to create an account on the site. This will allow you to make edits and contributions to the site.
Write the article. When writing the article, you should use neutral language and avoid any promotional or biased language. You should also follow Wikipedia’s formatting guidelines and include appropriate headings, citations, and references.
Submit the article for review. Once you have written the article, you can submit it for review by other Wikipedia editors. They will check the article for accuracy, neutrality, and adherence to Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines. If the article meets these criteria, it will be published on Wikipedia.
It’s important to note that creating a Wikipedia page for an artist can be a time-consuming process, and it may take several weeks or even months to complete. Additionally, Wikipedia has strict policies regarding conflict of interest and self-promotion, so if you have a personal relationship with the artist or their work, you may need to disclose this on the article’s talk page.
