  • Article moved to mainspace on August 22. Labeled a stub, but over 3kb in prose, so that's not accurate. Sources such as "Horse trainer turned sculptor achieves international acclaim for larger-than-life work" verify that the individual was a horse trainer and then became a sculptor. One potential problem I see is two blogspot references (#2 and #7). I don't think blogspot should qualify as a reliable source. It's blocked by my work though, so I can't read the article at the moment. I'd feel better with a better source. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:44, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
  • I updated the references supporting the number of commissions which was based on one the blog references that concerned you. None of the remaining info cited in the DYK nom are supported by the blog references. I'll work on the remaining blog references later. Let me know if this works for the purposes of the DYK nom. Thanks. — btphelps (talk to me) (what I've done) 19:29, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
