"Museum Director" Specificity edit

Hello, I'm hoping to remove this "inclusion criteria" issue in particular by clarifying what is being listed. The "museum directors" link I removed because it redirects to the Curator page. I don't think this list is as helpful if it confuses the roles of "museum director," "art museum director," and "curator." I would like to narrow it down to the category the list actually purports to being, but if Wikipedia doesn't even make the distinction... Anyone else have thoughts on this? Obviously this list has other issues, but stuff like adding more non-U.S. names and citations proving notable directorship are relatively straightforward fixes.

wikidata query edit

I thought this wikidata query might be helpful. Mduvekot (talk) 22:22, 17 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Heidi Zuckerman edit

Hi there...this is my first edit! I work at the Aspen Art Museum (AAM) and we're hosting the edit-a-thon in conjunction with the Art + Feminism work. We want to flag that our AAM director, Heidi Zuckerman, does not have a page so we've created a red link for her. Also, her correct name is Heidi Zuckerman (without Jacobson).

Page move undone edit

I spotted that this page was moved from List of female art museum directors to List of art museum directors without discussion. These seems potentially contentious, so I've moved the page back to it's original location for now. I can see reasons for and against such a move, so I'd invite page creator Adriennemeraz (talk · contribs) and page mover MZMcBride (talk · contribs) to kick off some discussion.

Hi Ilikeeatingwaffles. Do you object to the page title "List of art museum directors"? --MZMcBride (talk) 17:11, 15 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
My understanding is that the purpose of this list is to specifically collect together a sub-group of art museum directors, namely women. I presume that is particularly because the vast majority of holders of such a title are/have been men. I have no objection to the title "List of art museum directors", but maybe that should be for a separate article? Such a list would be absolutely enormous, and perhaps better served by a category?
