Banksy was a good article, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

His Arrest today should be mentioned[edit]
London, England — The England-based graffiti artist, political activist, film director, and painter that for years has gone by the pseudonymous name of Banksy, was arrested early this morning by police in London. After hours of questioning and a raid of his London art studio, his true name and identity have finally been revealed.
London Police say Banksy’s real name is Paul William Horner, a 39-year old male born in Bristol, England. The BBC has also confirmed this information with his PR agent Jo Brooks and the website that acts as a handling service on behalf of the artist, Pest Control. [1]
- Yeah, right, the same website that tells us the name of the new Pope has been revealed three weeks early :) Sionk (talk) 19:09, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

- Yes my bad, I added it. PRlog is a free Press Release service - not reliable at all. The email from the PR links to a humour website. Fake, fake, fake. NickCochrane (talk) 21:30, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
