Comment: Remove the junk sources first, and replace them with reliable sources. See WP:RS and no Youtube links. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔) 04:52, 22 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: "Portraits from the Belly of the Whale Hardcover" is cited twice. I didn't look what it's cited for. I did notice that it's a sales page within Garlington's own website; thus it of course is not disinterested. "Michael Garlington Transcends Gimmickry in Creating a Powerful 'Photohouse" consists of two short, unsigned paragraphs. Yet it's cited five times. It doesn't seem to say any of the things for which it is cited. Two's enough for me. Please cut the junk sources, cut the junk citations, and summarize what well-informed people unrelated to Garlington have said about his work. Hoary (talk) 10:48, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: "Garlington’s artist statement reads...." Unless other people whose opinions are of note, and who are disinterested -- art critics, curators, art journalists, etc -- have commented on this statement, it's mere trivia. What matters is: What have these other people said, in reliable sources, about Garlington's work? Hoary (talk) 08:51, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
