AfC notification: Draft:Jinoos Taghizadeh has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Jinoos Taghizadeh. Thanks! SomeoneDreaming (talk) 20:55, 21 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Thank you for your comments. Regarding your question about sources, I would say that the following can be considered the main sources:

Black, Ian (2009-03-04). "Rock, Paper, Scissors and a hard place". The Guardian. ISSN 0261-3077. Retrieved 2026-05-20.

"Jinoos Taghizadeh, A Map of the Artist's Mind - Asymptote". www.asymptotejournal.com. Retrieved 2026-05-20.

Karimi, Pamela (2022). Alternative Iran: Contemporary Art and Critical Spatial Practice. Stanford University Press.

"چهره‌ها: ژینوس تقی‌زاده". www.radiozamaneh.com (in Persian). 2024-04-29. Retrieved 2026-05-20ttps://www.radiozamaneh.com/814336/

"گفت‌و‌گو با ژینوس تقی زاده، هنرمند چندرسانه ای: آزادی تنها اسم اعظمی است که می شناسم | رسانه خبری هفته". مجله خبری هفته (in Persian). Retrieved 2026-05-20

Regarding your second question, the artist Jinoos Taghizadeh fits well under the fourth criterion, as she is a well-known and established artist in Iran’s art scene with a distinctive artistic style. Her work has been exhibited both in Iran and internationally, including at venues such as Whitechapel Gallery, MAXXI Museum, Wiesbaden Kunsthalle, and Museum Ulm. She has also served on the editorial boards of prestigious art magazines in Iran and was a jury member for the Sixth Tehran National Sculpture Biennial in 2011. In addition, she has received growing international attention, including an interview with BBC Persian and a review of her exhibition in The Guardian. Alisyyh (talk) 06:04, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Please take a look at Wikipedia:Source assessment/Jinoos Taghizadeh. Of those sources, I was only able to find one that conferred notability (the Guardian article) and one more that potentially conferred notability (the book page, which I don't currently have access to, so I can't tell if there's significant coverage or not). Looking at the table that I made, can you identify any other sources that would match all three criteria: independent, reliable, and significant coverage? SomeoneDreaming (talk) 20:54, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I appreciate the chart you provided regarding the sources used in the article. I understand that the source below was assessed as not independent because it's an interview. However, I would like to point out that it is conducted by Poupeh Missaghi, a writer, scholar, translator (between English and Farsi), and assistant professor at the University of Denver, who is also a well-known critic of Iranian contemporary art. The quality and depth of her conversation with Jinoos Taghizadeh go beyond a simple interview format. Rather than presenting general biographical information, the discussion critically engages with the artist’s worldview and artistic approach. It has a clear analytical direction and purpose, rather than merely providing basic information for readers:

"Jinoos Taghizadeh, A Map of the Artist's Mind - Asymptote". www.asymptotejournal.com. Retrieved 2026-05-20.

In creating this page, I relied on a variety of available sources rather than depending heavily on only a few references. For example, I cited two books by Pamela Karimi, associate professor of the history of art and architecture at Cornell University, whose research focuses on female visual artists in contemporary Iran.

In her book, Woman, Art, Freedom (which I did not list among the major references in order to maintain a diversity of authors), Karimi dedicates several pages across different chapters to Taghizadeh’s work. She also includes a full statement by Taghizadeh discussing the position of Iranian artists in exile.

Additionally, the following two articles, although not entirely focused on Taghizadeh, are reliable and valuable sources for understanding the artistic and cultural context from which her work emerges:

1) Saremy, Nastaran. "Sculpture in Post-revolution Iran: A Fertile Ground for a New Art :A Rereading". Mohit Art.

2) interventionsjournal (2013-01-29). "WHO, BY WHOM, AND FOR WHOM: PRESENTATION OF CONTEMPORARY ART IN IRAN AND REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ART OF IRAN ELSEWHERE". Retrieved 2026-05-20. Alisyyh (talk) 22:35, 23 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I updated the source table--I think between the Interventions Journal piece, the Guardian source, and the two books (assuming you're correct about the significant coverage in them), then I believe she does meet the general notability guideline. Thank you for your patience and for getting back to me.

If you are planning to continue contributing article drafts, I'd recommend actually taking a slightly different approach. Rather than seeking to include all of the available sources, I would focus on the most high quality ones, which meet the notability guidance at WP:42 (reliable, independent, significant coverage). This will help your drafts be assessed (and, hopefully, approved!) more quickly and easily, and also help to make sure we're meeting our policy around verifiability.
