Previous Questionable Material edit

I have addressed the concerns rightly highlighted previously: - A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (June 2016)

- This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. (June 2016)

- This article or section contains close paraphrasing of one or more non-free copyrighted sources. (June 2016) I have researched the subject and removed unsubstantiated material and material sounding like advertising. The article seems sound now, but please let me know if there's anything else that should be done to put it in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines. Adamewhite

The current state of this article does not have reliable sources and I don't doubt there is a history of COI edits, there should not be the artist's gallery(ies) as sources. See WP:RS. Jooojay (talk) 17:22, 26 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Regarding contemporary artists, it's an industry standard that reputable galleries include the curricula vitae of artists they represent. This does not seem unreliable, especially with something as quotidian as her educational history. This is particularly the case since it seems that information would not be generally available unless the artist in question has a catalogue raisonné, which none but the most famous would.

This is Wikipedia and not "industry standard", its not considered a reliable source for Wikipedia - I left you the link to read more about why that is WP:RS. There are many artists are Wikipedia, and it is not our practice to use first party sources like ones from galleries. And it should be noted, many WP articles with excessive gallery citations & gallery links are due to COI edits by a gallery representative or marketing professional.
