Deletion is absurd

Lynn Hershman Leeson is a well-known figure in the art world and has directed high profile art films, one of which has a Wikipedia entry and stars Tilda Swinton. Her entry should not be deleted. --Scottandrewhutchins 14:34, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removed BLP primary sources

I removed this notice as I removed references to Hershman Leeson's CV or resume in the Awards and Honors section. I will also be working on the other sections of the page in the future, but thought this may have been the section that was referencing the most primary materials, e.g. the artist's CV.

Missing details

Lynn Hershman Leeson's work wasn't always accepted by the art world, specifically in her early career.^[1] This needs to be developed and added to this article for the sake of context. PigeonChickenFish (talk) 17:55, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
