editHello, I'm new, and I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but while this is under review I thought it might be helpful to leave some comments re: Notability of David Robinson. Sorry if my format or content are off-base!
David Robinson and his work are the subject of a documentary short film. There are no public links to cite yet because it is being submitted to about 30 film festivals this year, some of which will only screen exclusives.
As shown on the draft page Robinson has been written about in many periodicals. In the links below he is referred to as "renowned", a "major Canadian artist", and "one of the finest figurative sculptors in Canada".

This next article has a passage reading: "Art critics for The Vancouver Sun have been enthralled by the work of Robinson... Sun writer Lloyd Dykk has called Robinson's sculptures "mysteriously magnetic" and "grave and astonishingly polished." Sun art critic Michael Scott has said Robinson is an artist of "conspicuous" and "formidable" talent, a natural "monument builder" whose work "cries out for full-scale realization.""

He has won multiple awards including the Outstanding Alumni Award from Langara College and the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant, and has had more than 20 solo exhibitions. (https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.icompendium.com/artistInfo/robinson/bio/bio_56.pdf?10273)
I definitely want to get this entry right in tone and content so I appreciate any feedback that will help keep it fair and relevant.
