Evaluate the drafted changes
Lead:

The lead is concise and offers an introductory sentence as to who the artist and the type of medium she works with.

Content:

The added content is relevant to the topic as it provides biographical information about the artist and an overview of what her art stands for. The content is up to date. There is a lot of content missing as there should be more of an exploration of the artist's most famous pieces and more details about her experience as a Chicanx woman. The article needs to be more specific. For example, the article says "Ayala frequently enjoys painting large portraits of glamorous female celebrities and Latina pop culture icons. Ayala has painted portraits of figures like Selena, Jennifer Lopez, Frida Khalo, in addition to  many others." The article does not go into why she paints these figures, the color choice, or the significance behind the medium. The article does deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps and historically underrepresented populations as this artist is Chicanx and not well known.

Tone and Balance:

The article does have a neutral tone. The content added is neutral and not heavily biased toward a particular position. There are no viewpoints that are overrepresented or underrepresented as the article is written in a straightforward way. The author does not attempt to persuade the reader of anything.

Sources and References:

The only sources referenced in this article come from an interview with the artist herself. There are no journal/scholarly sources in the references section. The information does reflect what the cited sources say. Given that the content within the article needs to be supplemented with more information, there needs to be more sources added to this wikipedia page. There also needs to be a more diverse range of sources as the information in this article is from the artist herself. The sources are current.

Images and Media:

The article includes many images of the referenced paintings throughout the article, but deep discussions of these paintings are not present. The images are not found on Wikicommons and there is no labeling of the photographs. Proper citation and alignment with copyright is needed.

New Articles:

The article is not supported by 2-3 sources that are separate from the artist. The list of references are extremely limited. There is so much more information on this artist out there. The article is extremely short and should add additional info boxes and sub headings to expand upon the artist's work. The article does not link to anything. In text citations are needed throughout this article as well.
