Needs references
As per Notability (people), an article about a Creative professional needs to reference published, third-party sources about the subject backing up one of one of the following criteria that pertains to artists:


 * The person's work either:
 * (a) has been displayed in a significant exhibition or as a monument (current article fails)
 * (b) has won significant critical attention (current article fails)
 * (c) is represented within the permanent collection of a significant gallery or museum of more than local significance. (current article fails)
 * If any of these notability citations exists they need to be added to the article or it may be listed for deletion.Fountains of Bryn Mawr 04:55, 28 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The article contains a list of galleries, but it's not clear if any of these are permanent. The article certainly could use more sources, too.  Rklawton 05:05, 28 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I am not sure how this got published as notable. I don't see any independent citations. It should be taken down until resolved Broadwaystars 19:40, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
 * This article needs more independent references as there are none! I tried to find some reliable sources but was unsuccessful. The only source that is used is the subject's website. If this is not resolved soon, I can't imagine this staying as an article for much longer.  Spiggotr6 (talk) 08:15, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Text to be deleted; what remains will need re-writing
For more than two years (as of April 2021) this article has had a warning banner about it being written like an advertisement, and yet nothing seems to have been done to rectify this. The particularly egregious section is as follows, with problematical parts bolded: "As a master in the kinetic sculpture discipline, Lyman is known round the world. His work is represented at fine art galleries and in private collections throughout the United States and abroad. His sculpture is seen in museums, at the seaside, in urban areas, in public venues and back yards - a reflection of their wide appeal. The Wind Sculptures are kinetic art that responds to the changing currents of the wind. Lyman has created sculptures that are innovative, artistic and responsive to their surroundings. Each is hand-produced and has a high degree of mechanical integrity and quality craftsmanship." The passages that are bolded are subjective, unsourced, unencyclopedic, and will be removed forthwith. Do not revert. If you want to add to the article, make sure whatever is added meets WP:N. Bricology (talk) 06:19, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
