Submission declined on 21 February 2025 by Hoary (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Hoary 4 months ago. | ![]() |
Comment: "His work is in public collections including [these eight museums]": A reliable source, independent of Casaempere, for each of these eight, please. Also, what have art critics/journalists/historians/curators independent of Casaempere written about his work? Hoary (talk) 00:31, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
Comment: By "showcased", do you mean "exhibited"? If so, then for each: A solo exhibition or a group exhibition? When? Where? Under what title? And, if possible, what did the reviews say? If "showcased" means something else, then what? Hoary (talk) 13:13, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
