Hubert McGoldrick moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Hubert McGoldrick, does not have any sources and citations as written to remain published in the article mainspace. I've verified and there are enough reliable sources to cite. To avoid a possible WP:BLPPROD I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can develop it as you did with Michael Healy (artist). When you're done, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. If you need help, let me know and I'll take a look. Robert G. (talk) 10:38, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Sligo article and stained glass mention
Hello Dublin8david, I just want to let you know that I removed your addition regarding a stained glass window at Holy Cross Priory from the Sligo article. Firstly, the addition didn't seem suitable in the context of the History section as there is otherwise no mention of the Dominican church (known as Holy Cross Priory, or locally "the friary") in the article. Secondly, the church was substantially rebuilt in the 1970s and it's unclear to me if that window survived the reconstruction. Finally, regarding citations, sources such as unpublished academic theses may not be suitable in general as they are not independently verifiable. You may wish to review WP:SOURCES for further details on sources and verifiability. I hope you won't be discouraged as I see you've been creating some useful articles, as for the artists themselves. Thanks Declangi (talk) 09:19, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Hello Declangi, sorry that you removed my addition to the Sligo article but thank you for taking the time to provide the reasons. I would, respectively, like to make a few points. Firstly, at the time I thought the 'History' section was the most suitable, though perhaps not ideal location to add the additional piece of information about this stained glass window from 1911 by Michael Healy. As I'm sure you realise, when one just wants to add a short item of additional information it can be difficult to determine where best it might fit when it would not merit a completely new section devoted to it. Secondly, I know there was no mention of the Holy Cross Priory already in the article on Sligo but sometimes it may be the case that a building might not be of much significance but there may be an artifact/work of art in it that is. (The artist who designed and made this window, Michael Healy, may not be as well known as the other three stained glass artists with whom he is often grouped (Harry Clarke, Wilhelmina Geddes and Evie Hone) but there are five windows by him on permanent display in the new room dedicated to Irish stained glass in the National Gallery). Thirdly, you were wondering if the window survived the reconstruction of the 1970s of the Dominican Priory and I'm happy to report it was removed from its previous location and reinstalled in a specially built new aperture in the church. Fourthly, I take your point about unpublished academic theses but I thought I had also included a published one: Gazetteer of Irish Stained Glass (Irish Academic Press, 1988); if I didn't, that was an oversight on my part. Thank you for your compliment that I have been creating some useful articles on Irish artists. It an area of interest of mine, Irish stained glass specifically, and I'm eager, where appropriate, to bring works by the these artists to the notice of local communities. I am relatively new to contributing to Wikipedia so still finding my way. Regards, David Dublin8david (talk) 11:23, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
