Respose of the Latin Wiki

Quite true. But en:wiki long ago decided to keep her, so maybe we will too? [[1]]

• They have succeeded to censor her pages in the French wiki but have failed in Latin,English, and Cymraeg See[2] Some French contributors, disgusted by this censorship, have offered her a new site. Please see: [3]--Tiranious 07:56, 2009 sausio 6 (EET)

False claim of fame

In my opinion this is promo-spam.

This article does in some other languages (simple) claim that Novin is «Regarded as one of Canada's world-renowned painters», and uses a <ref> to «prove» this with a quote. The given referanse is however not useful. It is not written as a art critic; it is merely an advance notice (pdf) about an art walk, most likely written by a journalist. And what is more, it is likely from the context, that the information («Guity Novin is a world-renowned acrylics painter, who inaugurated a movement in painting called "transpressionism". Her work is in galleries and collections around the globe.») is not the journalists own well-based opinion, but something she has been told by someone, perhaps the artist, or the staff behind the walk. (Plus, if Novin really is «world-renowned painter», it seems likely that there should have been more writings about her, also in prestigious foreign art magazines!?)
Myself I am a librarian and literary critic, under education to be an art critic as well. To me, it is plain mater to distinct between notable art critic, and un-notable advance notices. Bw --Orland 22:36, 2009 sausio 13 (EET)
