Ronald Burns (artist) moved to draftspace
This has already been moved to draftspace once ("This is not remotely ready for mainspace"); if you move it back without using the articles for deletion facility, it will probably (read: almost certainly) be nominated for deletion.
 * I've looked over the draft and here are my notes:
 * This needs additional sourcing to help establish notability. Also, unfortunately the interview held with Robert Burns is not usable as a source on Wikipedia because it would be seen as a self-published source. There wouldn't really be any way to verify the interview and claims in a way that would satisfy Wikipedia's criteria. Even if it were published through a reliable source (such as a piece about the article published in the city paper), it would be seen as a primary source by most and wouldn't be able to establish notability.
 * The citations also need to be in-line and in the case of museum held items, you need to link to the page(s) in question, like this.
 * Avoid terms like prestigious - these are seen as promotional and a bit subjective depending on the person.
 * Since the interview can't be used, there needs to be more sourcing to help back up the claims in the article. Academic and scholarly sourcing is best for this, but news coverage is good as well.
 * I've done some editing to move some of the sourcing into the article and for the time being, removed the information about Burns's personal life since we need sourcing for that. Some of his work is held in a major museum so that should qualify him as notable, but more sourcing is always good. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:04, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
