New enough. Long enough. Image has an acceptable main page copyright that I verified by viewing the links related to it on the info page. Article is neutral enough. No plagiarism concerns. Sources support article text.
Can an alt hook be proposed? The hook is kind of boring and you can see if in the picture. Some of the information in the article also appears unconnected "Marc also worked with Vincent van Gogh." This connects to the painting how? --LauraHale (talk) 23:36, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
Refs 1, 4, 5, 7, and 9 in this revision are either unreliable, commercial, or self-published. Goodvac (talk) 17:10, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
- How, may I ask? Go over every single reference, and explain how each of them is either "unreliable, commercial or self-published." Also, where in WP:WIADYK does it not allow these type of sources? It only mentions having a reliable source to support the hook. I've removed some. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 17:20, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

- Wikipedia does allow commercial sources. If there is anything that says Wikipedia cannot have commercial sources, I would be extremely surprised. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 16:24, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
- Commercial sources' primary purpose is to sell products, so they would not have a system of editorial oversight in place. Goodvac (talk) 16:32, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
