== How adverse is DYK... ==
Hi, I was trying my best to make sure the article was notable and neutral. I was only midway through my editing and it was deleted. https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User:CarmHarris/sandbox&action=edit&redlink=1n. I realize one page being on wikipedia doesn't ensure that another will meet the standard, but ] and ] have similar posts that read pretty neutral. I have been reading a lot on the guidelines, are my sources not notable enough? I would like to try again. Happy to read your response on the next steps. Thanks!

Thank you for quickly reviewing the article and providing excellent help with removing primary sources!

::OH! OK, well too late, and it was probably for the better anyway. Now, it's reduced down to seven; more significant articles, which actually now reference the phrase 'parks on the air'. I thought this would probably be better since a generic article that just mentions a park that ham radio operators went to and got on the air wasn't notable enough. So, of the seven in the article, #2 mentions NPOTA, and #5 mentions Canada NPOTA, the rest refers to POTA directly. So, feel free to go to any three you want to look at them. Hope that works.

I accepted this. You wrote " The only references are to MOMA, i.e. WP:PRIMARY sources. We need WP:SECONDARY sources which talk about the painting."
I consider this a misunderstanding. The only primary source that's relevant here is the painting itself. The MOMA catalog information is a reliable secondary source from an unquestionable authoritative institution. It may have some sort ofcoi because it owns the painting, but it is nonetheless universally accepted as the basic reliable source, with the only possible more reliable source a monograph on the artist.. And since it is our practice that any painting collected by a major museum justifies an article,and since MOMA is one of theleading museums famous throught the world, nothing mroe really needs to be shown.
