A reliable source, please, for such assertions as the resulting paintings lend a new understanding and beauty to the commonplace and Wilf has gone on to become one of Saskatchewan's most highly regarded visual artists and for each of Wilf Perreault's paintings are in the collections of: Mackenzie Art Gallery, Regina; Pemberton Houston, Willoughby; Bank of Montreal; The Mercantile Bank; Goldman Sachs and Co., New York; Osler Hoskins, Toronto; Ernst & Young; Touche Ross & Co.; [...] Saskatchewan Arts Board; Petro-Canada Inc.; Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan; Dunlop Art Gallery, Regina; Remai Art Gallery, Saskatoon; and the Edmonton Art Gallery, Alberta (if possession by a company is worth mentioning).

Your submission at Articles for creation: Wilf Perreault (June 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Bearcat was:

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.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This is still referenced far too heavily to primary sources that are not proper support for notability. For instance, you do not establish an artist's notability by sourcing his gallery shows to the self-published websites of the galleries that held the shows as evidence that the shows happened; you establish an artist's notability by sourcing his gallery shows to media coverage about the shows (reviews by art critics, etc.) as evidence that the shows garnered third party attention. The Queen's Golden and Diamond Jubilee Medals are also not notability-building awards at all; they were presented to 46,000 (golden) and 60,000 (diamond) Canadians respectively, and are not in and of themselves WP:ANYBIO-clinching awards.
Some of the sourcing here is proper third party media coverage, which is obviously a step in the right direction, but the stuff that isn't third party media coverage still has to go away.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Wilf Perreault (November 2)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by GraziePrego was:

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

"Wilf Perreault has wandered up and down back alleys recording a thousand fleeting impressions in a thousand memorable images." how is this encyclopaedic tone?

A fox for you!

Congratulations on having your article moved to mainspace! The notability is a bit questionable so please be prepared if someone submits it for deletion. If you have any questions feel free to leave a message on my talk page. I removed a large amount of content from your article because it wasn't really inline with other articles here on Wikipedia. Don't take it personally I just wanted to try and make sure your article would survive and not get removed after all the work you put into it.

Wilf Perreault on the Front Page

Hey @Eisbergsk I hope you see this I just wanted to let you know that I nominated your article for the Wikipedia:Did you know section for the front page of Wikipedia. I don't know when it'll go up but it looks like everything has been approved. You can check it out by following this link Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Wilf_Perreault. Dr vulpes (Talk) 06:12, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Dr vulpes Wow, Thank you so much. I also want to thank you for cleaning up and adding( I think?) more references to Wilf's article. I am still updating my records to make sure they correspond, but I've checked with Wilf and he's just tickled that the article is there. Many many thanks!
