  • Comment: Like the previous reviewer said, Wikipedia articles should not have long bulleted lists of exhibitions. Paul D'Amato has some media coverage in reliable secondary sources, such as the Chicago Tribune [1], and therefore might be worthy of a Wikipedia article, but this draft is overly detailed and incorrectly formatted so I cannot accept it. Please let me know if you have any questions. Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 19:16, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Wikiepdia is WP:NOT a database or CV of published works. Trim the selection to notable instances; then ensure the draft article is an article that reads like a biography supported by WP:Inline citations, and not an advertisment. Borderline G11 candidate. microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 14:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
