Problems with references make verification impossible[edit]

Some references do not provide enough details to locate the publication. For example:

<ref>Arthur Hall Smith (1929-2013) Professor of Painting at The George Washington University 1974-1997.</ref>

This provides the reader with a note about Arthur Smith but does not help verify that he was one of Lynn's influences. For that we need a citation to a publication that says Arthur Smith influenced Lynn.

Others are not citations of published works at all. For example: a letter can be used in a reference if it is contained in a publication. An un-published letter is of no value for verification because the reader has no way to access it. Gab4gab (talk) 00:00, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is this biography notable enough for Wikipedia?[edit]

This biography does not seem notable enough for inclusion as an article in Wikipedia. Do other editors feel the same way or differently? Raptornorman (talk) 20:18, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
