David Bowie's art collection

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Article is not long enough. It's basically a list of artists represented in the Bowie collection plus a short piece of prose measuring 1,022 characters. Hook facts not immediately cited. This looks like it needs a fair bit of work to be decent enough for DYK. Bcp67 (talk) 11:18, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Not gonna argue. It's currently a lightweight article and probably won't expand until after the auction (when more information/sources are published). I'm ok with this not being in the DYK list if it doesn't meet the criteria. 87Fan (talk) 20:43, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
