Be especially aware of our rules about conflict of interest, autobiography, and self-advertisement. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:13, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a problem of comprehension here. The concept of conflict of interest relates to whether you have a stake in the particular person, movement, etc. being written about; not about whether a particular article discusses what are known in political parlance as "special interests"! We have problems all the time with people who want to create articles about obscure organizations, persons, firms, etc. Wikipedia requires not that a subject be worthwhile but that it be notable. The artist you wrote about (whether it is yourself or not) did not qualify. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:22, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
