@Awesome Aasim: Hi Aasim! Thank you for the quick review - I've made modifications to the Dennis Mahoney page that I hope will help resolve the concerns regarding Speedy Deletion. I've updated the page to remove most of the review quotes which may have contributed to the concern. I wanted to ensure I produced enough citations, but perhaps I did too much! Please let me know if the new page passes muster. I'm interested in adding authors and artists from my region who meet notability requirements, and this was the first page I've attempted to build (rather than contribute to). If it still doesn't pass muster, please let me know.

Dennis Mahoney moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Dennis Mahoney, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. – bradv🍁 02:12, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks you @Bradv:. I'll continue to improve the listing. I'll note that there are seven citations at the moment, nearly two per sentence. Does the listing need more content generally?
