A former editor of this page myself, I have come realized that it fails most wikipedia guidelines. The sourced numbers currently present are often attempted to be updated without a new source being provided, while a majority of the entries have no sources at all. It is near impossible to find a source for the remaining entries; I believe most are calculated by counting certifications. I'm tired of babysitting numbers that I cannot verify.

AfD is not cleanup. DGG (talk) 01:59, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure where I asked for cleanup? I am trying to delete this article. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 02:04, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is it possible to source all of the information at all? If it is, then deletion isn't the answer. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 02:14, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've been searching for over a year, that is where the current sources came from, it used to have none at all. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 02:41, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete--AfD is also not the place to find sources for what may be imaginary numbers. Look at the note at the bottom: "Note – Numbers may not be accurate." In the state that it is in right now, this article needs to be deleted. Drmies (talk) 02:29, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, I used to edit the page, I know I made some of them up through counting certification, but now that I'm experienced, I've learned about a thing called original research. btw, I added that note a few months ago. Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 02:41, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hahaha, I should have looked that up--I had a feeling that might be the case. Drmies (talk) 03:17, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. I have no opinion as to whether to keep or delete, but if this is kept it needs to be renamed - I was expecting an article about visual artists, which is what is usually meant by the unqualified word "artist". Phil Bridger (talk) 20:27, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Most of these seem to be unsourceable, or at the very least, impossible to maintain. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 02:30, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: I support this deletion for many of the aforementioned reasons. Imperatore (talk) 22:33, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
