| Submission declined on 2 November 2023 by GraziePrego (talk). This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject. Declined by GraziePrego 10 months ago. | |
| Submission declined on 4 June 2023 by Bearcat (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Bearcat 15 months ago. | |

Comment: Article lacks reliable sources, particularly in the section about the subject's life. A Wikipedia biography should have supporting references for every significant statement, and any statement that might be challenged. Paul W (talk) 17:12, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: "Wilf Perreault has wandered up and down back alleys recording a thousand fleeting impressions in a thousand memorable images." how is this encyclopaedic tone? GraziePrego (talk) 05:19, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: The quality of the referencing has been significantly improved; however, there's still an issue with the way the references have been formatted that needs to be resolved before this can be approved. The "awards and press" section, specifically, is engaging in WP:CITEKILL piling: the statement that "his work has earned him a large and growing number of exhibitions" has eleven different citations piled up on it, and the statement that a retrospective show "covered over 40 years of work and over 40 pieces of art, plus many of his popular silkscreens" is stacked with five.
That isn't how we do things: we don't stack five, ten or eleven citations onto a single statement, but rather we only need one citation per statement, and if you need to get additional citations into the article to bolster his passage of WP:GNG then you need to add more statements.
For instance, it isn't helpful or informative to just generically say that he's had gallery shows and then stack all of the citations for 11 different gallery shows onto that one sentence -- it would be more helpful and informative to directly name each individual gallery he had a show at, so that each citation can stand alone as support for a distinct fact rather than being jengastacked directly on top of each other at the end of the same sentence. Bearcat (talk) 12:10, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: This is still referenced far too heavily to primary sources that are not proper support for notability. For instance, you do not establish an artist's notability by sourcing his gallery shows to the self-published websites of the galleries that held the shows as evidence that the shows happened; you establish an artist's notability by sourcing his gallery shows to media coverage about the shows (reviews by art critics, etc.) as evidence that the shows garnered third party attention. The Queen's Golden and Diamond Jubilee Medals are also not notability-building awards at all; they were presented to 46,000 (golden) and 60,000 (diamond) Canadians respectively, and are not in and of themselves WP:ANYBIO-clinching awards.
Some of the sourcing here is proper third party media coverage, which is obviously a step in the right direction, but the stuff that isn't third party media coverage still has to go away. Bearcat (talk) 02:53, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: A reliable source, please, for such assertions as the resulting paintings lend a new understanding and beauty to the commonplace and Wilf has gone on to become one of Saskatchewan's most highly regarded visual artists and for each of Wilf Perreault's paintings are in the collections of: Mackenzie Art Gallery, Regina; Pemberton Houston, Willoughby; Bank of Montreal; The Mercantile Bank; Goldman Sachs and Co., New York; Osler Hoskins, Toronto; Ernst & Young; Touche Ross & Co.; [...] Saskatchewan Arts Board; Petro-Canada Inc.; Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan; Dunlop Art Gallery, Regina; Remai Art Gallery, Saskatoon; and the Edmonton Art Gallery, Alberta (if possession by a company is worth mentioning).
