"He is considered by many museum professionals and private collectors to be amongst some of the most important contemporary ceramic artists of our time." Does that come from a independent, secondary, verifiable source???? See WP:42. Cite it as a reference.

To demonstrate that Serna is worthy of a WP article, we need proof he has been widely noticed and reported in reliable, independent sources e.g. newspapers, magazines. Alternatively, you may be able to show proof that he meets the requirements of WP:ARTIST. Sionk (talk) 14:39, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Jacobo de la Serna - what still needs doing
Hi Spanishwine1965, I have spent a while copy-editing, adding wiki links to other articles, adding images and generally making the article look presentable - and crucially I have asserted notability. The article still has defects - raw http:// links without descriptions, and most importantly several paragraphs without citations/references - if you could possibly add some of those, that would be very helpful! It would also be nice to have a few more images of the artworks, and ideally more detail of when the books were published. Oh, and the titles of the magazine articles, or people will start to complain! All the best Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:11, 25 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Update: we urgently need citations for the Exhibits/Permanent Collections, in principle for each one of them (not just general links to museum websites, but proof de la Serna was exhibited at each place). A list of such things on de la Serna's own website (is there one?) would be a start. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:26, 25 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Totally agree. I'm a member of the Visual Arts Project (and AfC), so not unsympathetic. There is a list of magazine and book coverage in the article - it would be great if these sources could be incorporated into the article, because they are certainly reliable and independent (unlike most gallery websites and blogs). Currently the article is very poorly sourced. Please remember also to give a reliable citation for any private personal information, such as full dates of birth.
