Issues with links and references[edit]

I've gone through and checked all the links and references:

1) Anonymous. "Deborah Poynton". Artsy.net. Retrieved 8 March 2015. According to WP:NOTRELIABLE this is not neessarily a reputable source, because an anonymous article can easily be a self-published source.

2) Deborah Poynton: Beyond Belief". Drents Museum. Drents Museum. Retrieved 3 June 2021. This seems fine

3) Deborah Poynton's Model for a World: A Survey of 25 Years of Painting". The New Church Museum. 2014. This seems fine.

4) Ogidan, Lagun (February 11, 2015). "Deborah Poynton: Scenes of a Romantic Nature". http://omenkamag.com/post/deborah-poynton:-scenes-of-a-romantic-nature Retrieved 8 March 2015. This link is not working and should be removed

5) Norman Walter, Meghan (2009-03-10). "Deborah Poynton: Everything Matters at ACA Gallery". burnaway.org. Archived from the original on 2018-02-01. Retrieved 2018-02-02. This seems fine

6) Deborah Poynton: Scenes of a Romantic Nature". Contemporary And (in German). Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen. 2015. Retrieved 2018-02-02. This seems fine

7) Thurman, Chris (March 6, 2015). "Half Art: Shoddy Presidents Far from Scene of Idyll". www.bdlive.co.za. Retrieved 8 March 2015. This link is broken, meaning that there is no support for the preceding paragraph

8) H (June 2006). "Deborah Poynton". www.artsouthafrica.com. Retrieved 8 March 2015. This link is also broken - again, no support for the preceding paragraph

So, the main issue here is with the section entitled Career, where most of the material doesn't have support in a reliable source, as the links are broken. As such, it should be removed and the article rewritten, provided sourced material. I am going to replace the template to reflect this. Totorotroll (talk) 14:14, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
