Henri Beau
[edit]... that Henri Beau is a forgotten Canadian painter who enjoyed success as an early Canadian Impressionist painter in Paris?
- Comment: this nomination was not originally transcluded at time of nomination, but is being reactivated now. Adding a DYKmake for a subsequent editor. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:00, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
Created by L. John Dory (talk). Self-nominated at 23:20, 19 April 2016 (UTC). Transcluded 20:00, 2 February 2017 (UTC).
This is an orphaned nomination that was never transcluded properly. It was nominated within 7 days of creation, is long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced, and no close paraphrasing seen. However, there are a few paragraphs which need at least one citation per Rule D2. Regarding the hook, the second part about the hook is cited to an offline source, but the first part, about him being "forgotten", needs an inline cite. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. Yoninah (talk) 20:44, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
- I see the page creator has not edited since April 2016. I'm therefore pinging W.carter, who is listed in the DYK creation credits for the editing he did on the article, to see if he can help out here. Yoninah (talk) 20:46, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Yoninah, it was a while since I worked on this article, it was to help out a new user. I'll look at it more closely tomorrow and see if I can make something of it. Best, cart-Talk 20:52, 2 February 2017 (UTC) (btw, I'm a "she")

- @Yoninah: (No problem.) I've had a look at the article and I'm sorry but I can't help you out here. I don't have access to the books and I would never submit a DYK with this many unrefed sentences. I think the only option is to decline this. Sorry. cart-Talk 14:23, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
- @W.carter: thanks for your time. BTW, DYK only requires one cite per paragraph; this is not GA, which wants citations for every sentence. I'll look at this nomination again later. Yoninah (talk) 19:34, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
- Yoninah, the article hasn't been edited since your own edits on February 2. Unless you plan to do more work on the article, I think it's probably time to close the nomination. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:38, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
OK, I've filled in the missing refs. I would like to ask the next reviewer to consider the list of exhibitions and artworks which are not referenced similar to a bibliography in other articles. I would also like to propose a new hook:
- ALT1: ... that Impressionist painter Henri Beau was largely forgotten in his native Canada since he spent over two decades working for the Canadian government archives in Paris?
- ALT2: ... that while studying art in Paris, impoverished Canadian painter Henri Beau copied eleven paintings hanging in the Louvre and sold them to support himself? Yoninah (talk) 21:34, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
