Can we judge manga artists or light novel authors simply through anime adaptations of their works?

Do you think that's appropriate? Or do you think the source material needs to be considered first and foremost?

Probably not, though if it's basically 1:1, then probably.

I see.
Usually people do that a lot. After watching anime, they judge what the mangaka got to offer from that.

no way lol
and with anime you can't decide and there are original adaptations and how would you judge without any source material?
