Hi All,

I’m reaching out to request editorial support and review for the expanded Tony Mafia article. Substantial improvements have been made to ensure the article meets notability and sourcing guidelines, and I would appreciate guidance or assessment from editors active in WikiProject Biography, WikiProject Visual Arts, or WikiProject Arts.

Notably:

- The article now cites a 1999 obituary in the Los Angeles Times, a major U.S. publication of record, which confirms his real name (Robert Lee Alderson), artistic career, and collectors of his work. - Additional references include exhibition records from Paris, Amsterdam, Antwerp, and Las Vegas, listings in Artnet, MutualArt, and AskART, and collection acquisitions by the City of Antwerp. - Coverage includes biographical details, stylistic analysis, exhibitions, collectors, and legacy, with fully attributed references.

I’d be grateful for feedback on structure, referencing format, and whether further steps are needed for eventual article assessment or potential move out of draft status.

Thank you for your time and support!
