Draft:Joseph Sheppard

  • Comment: After Snowman304 rightly declined this, it has had one (1) edit: Gavinjoaquinolivas resubmitted it. The response to Snowman304's comment that the references "do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject"? Nothing. No response.
    Gavinjoaquinolivas, you are merely wasting reviewers' time. Hoary (talk) 05:16, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: more secondary sources needed; proportionally, too many are from his official website Snowman304|talk 01:18, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Wording like "His works continue to reflect these principles, showcasing meticulous detail, anatomical accuracy, and narrative depth." is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. C F A 💬 22:10, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
