| Submission declined on 19 May 2025 by Paul W (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.

Comment: One source (#1) gives significant coverage and appears to be reliable, independent and secondary, but most of the remaining sources are minor or passing mentions and listings or are contained in blogs. To meet WP:GNG and/or WP:ARTIST (possibly meeting criterion 4 - are the institutions notable?), I think the overall content needs to be expanded (this BLP article is basically a stub), and the extent and quality of references also needs to be expanded.

- Comment: "Exhibitions": None is referenced. Each must be referenced."Collections": Most are unreferenced. Each must be referenced.Being mentioned in a book is of trivial significance. If the book says something about LM, then feel free to summarize it (and of course attribute it). If it doesn't, then don't mention it here. Hoary (talk) 11:40, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
