Submission declined on 31 March 2024 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. If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

• Comment: How is it that the reference for a series of exhibitions that started in 2018 is an article published in a music journal in 1923? Hoary ( talk) 08:55, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: If he's known for his such-and-such, then reliable sources (photography historians/curators/critics) will have written something substantive about this. Well, what have they written? (Don't quote it; summarize it.) Hoary ( talk) 12:48, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
