@Lopifalko: Thank you for your input. Based on the below references, would you consider reinstating a portion of the collections? E-Stylus (talk) 19:55, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like they're a bit too... clunky and goes into too much WP:DETAIL in the article. Could we split them off into a separate article perchance? - ChrisWar666 (talk) 21:20, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisWar666: I don't think so. I suspect her contributions to those publications listed in "Featured works" is minor, thus I suggest we strip it back to the most notable and remove the majority of that list. The "Exhibitions" section is not overly long at all so I definitely do not think it worth breaking this out into a separate article. The "Select exhibitions and books" duplicates in prose what we have in the lists in the "Exhibitions", "Published works" and "Permanent collections" sections, so this duplicate should be able to be merged. -Lopifalko (talk) 11:27, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, perhaps I should have been more specific. I was thinking about breaking both sections out (together) precisely due to the fact that featured works was so large (and her contribution probably so minor). Agree with stripping back, and trying to find some notability (a mention in WP:RS?) for her participation in them. I think wikipedia prefers prose over lists, so I don't think we should remove the prose for now. (Obviously if it becomes hooked on minor details, as it is at e.g. Ha*Ash, it could be cleaned up a bit.) I also think the list form is useful for quick reference. I was going to remove the cannabis paper remark, but I don't mind trivia in prose so much shrugs. (I also moved the unsigned list below into this section) - ChrisWar666 (talk) 13:58, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Just to reply quickly to one of your points, "I think wikipedia prefers prose over lists", with photographers I've taken my cues in recent years with work that went before me and always favoured lists over prose for exhibitions, collections and books. I do like prose, but it's a lot harder, and exhibitions are kind of sundry, not the core work of someone's career in my opinion. Their core work would be more like the photographs themselves, hence lists seem a good way to succinctly get exhibitions out of the way, neatly parcelled off. Also, long prose descriptions about collections and exhibitions is laborious to read, where as a list can be quickly scanned. -Lopifalko (talk) 14:15, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I shall defer to your experience. This said, how much prose should be in the lists? I'm deleting this "The first major museum exhibition of rock music photography that toured across the USA and to New Zealand.[31]" from the group exhibitions section, and will have a look at another clean-up. - ChrisWar666 (talk) 15:13, 2 December 2019 (UTC) Edit: I've tried to clean it up a bit, and would like to do more - there are lots of citations, sometimes every sentence. I don't think we need so many, and none in the lead (unless Simon is a controversial figure? I was going to move birth ref over to the infobox, but left it in for now as a precaution) - ChrisWar666 (talk) 15:56, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
