Stand alone article on Ann Harithas?

User:Feralpearl

Thank you for making this interesting article on James Harithas. I see there is a chapter for Ann Harithas, do you think there are enough sources for a stand-alone article on Ann? Thanks again - Wil540 art (talk) 14:21, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words. I considered the same thing, but don't believe there are enough. Feralpearl (talk) 23:53, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

I agree that there are not enough for a stand alone on Ann. James Harithas has more coming out on his full legacy in the Art World. Many well known artists, art directors and curators got there start from him. I would keep working on his Wikipedia site. Jeannieh9 (talk) 13:56, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

I will! Such a brilliant and fascinating man. (The wiki has been corrected.) Take care. Feralpearl (talk) 16:45, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Fantastic! Thank you!!!!

BTW, my Dad worked at Reese Pally Gallery before all the museums. 1966-1969 approx. which was pioneering for the Fluxus movement/Performance Art and Video Art. Jeannieh9 (talk) 02:18, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

@Feralpearl: I think with a couple more good sources, there could be a stand alone article for Ann Harithas. Perhaps additional coverage will come out this year. I started a WikiData item for her: WikiData:Q115550607. - Wil540 art (talk) 13:57, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

I'm bogged down at work at the moment, but will keep an eye out for further info. Thanks for the WikiData item. Feralpearl (talk) 21:50, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Good luck w work! Im working too 24-7 Jeannieh9 (talk) 00:42, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

I managed to find enough sources to give Ann her own page. I uploaded it this morning. It hasn't been reviewed yet. Thanks for your suggestion. Even though I once worked for Ann, I learned many new things about her! Feralpearl (talk) 13:36, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Jeannie, thanks for your patience. Ann now has a separate page so much of the material that was on your dad’s page has been moved.

If you read your father’s article, you will see near the end of the first section “Early life and education” the sentence, “In 1958, he married Christiana Baka, with whom he had three daughters.”

Although I’ve written 80 Wikipedia entries, I’ve only just learned that “survived by” items are not permitted. From the Wikipedia Manual of Style: Biography: “’Survived by’ and "survivors,’ phrasings commonly found in obituaries, should not be used.”

I hope this resolves the concerns you had. BTW, I looked into Reese Palley Gallery and found your father was director there in 1970-71. However, so far, the only source I have is a blog and blogs are not admissible for citations. I’ll try to remember to get back to it and see if I can find a proper source.
