Why is he on this list?
I believe we should have some sort of notability criteria for inclusion on this list. A criterion I've argued and seen successfully implemented on other such lists, is that someone should have a Wikipedia article about them to be listed. Then we push the problem of deciding who to list and who not to down to the poor souls following AFD, and we also give more incentives for articles about notable illustrators to be written, not just listed with a name. Right now I expect many of the entries currently listed with a red link to be the names of less notable illustrators, and maybe even some listed for vanity reasons. Comments?

As it stands, this is merely a list of article names. That is better handled by using [[Category:Illustrators]] since it will automatically add each article to the list and alphabetize them. For this page to be something other than a hand-made redundancy of the category, each entry should contain at least one sentence about the illustrator - which the categories don't have. -- Kainaw (what?) 17:36, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
The way I got into editing this list today, was that I was looking for a children's illustrator whose name I couldn't remember. I found it sad to see that Wikipedia had jumbled every genre of illustration into one category heading. To make this easy, first I would take all the children's book illustrators out and make that a list. From there, I can be of help on the balance, but know children's illustration much better.03:30, 19 February 2014 (UTC) Mrs-piggle-wiggle ( talk)
