[edit] Article improvement

Wikify

Words linked in the article should only be linked internally to wiki articles. Put two square brackets either end of the word.

Clean up

Avoid bold text apart from where the title is mentioned in the first sentence.

Remove external links to words. See wikify above.

External links can be placed after a sentence as a reference to verify the source of information, but not merely to provide extra information. In the latter case, external links section is available.

Notability

This article at the moment does not assert sufficient notability or prominence of the artist in terms of stated achievement, prizes, reviews, media coverage, shows etc.

"Galleries and museums throughout the world" are claimed, yet there are not specific ones mentioned and there is no verification.

Should notability not be established and verified, the article may be proposed for deletion.

[edit] please stop interfering

I have almost finished my father's page when you dare delete it! I am cleaning it as instructed so please let me finish this. I am almost done. He is a very important artist for those who know art.

Could you provide some proof for this? The article has been tagged for proposed deletion and lack of importance several times. Many editors have been fairly lenient with this article up to this point. This is not "your" article about your father- this is an encyclopedia entry that anyone is free to edit, and if it doesn't assert importance with verifiable reliable sources, then it will be put up for deletion discussion. You shouldn't even be writing this since it's about your father- there is a very clear conflict of interest, and there are already issues with the neutrality of the article. --Wafulz 12:07, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

You are doing a good job with formatting and so on, but notability needs to be established. Some shows in major galleries would be good, or quotes from magazines or books about his work + reference for them. Please remember to be CIVIL. Tyrenius 14:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing info

Birth date and place. Education details.

Do we take it his PhD was gained in 1997? Where are his shows in museums and galleries round the world as initially stated?

There still doesn't seem much to make him notable. Perhaps some material from the External links could be incorporated, and the link turned into a reference, instead of merely a link.
