The article generally conforms to all the requirements -- it's new, long enough, and satisfies notability requirements. The first hook works best for me. My only concern is the sourcing. Only one of the sources seems to be about the subject in any sustained way. The other sources merely confirm the work he did and where it was published. I would like to see more sources (although strictly on the grounds of WP:GNG, I would say this article passes that threshold). freshacconci (✉) 22:38, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
On reflection, there are actually three sources that go beyond just confirming the subject's existence as a published artist. I would say this is sufficient for DYK. freshacconci (✉) 22:43, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
