Footballer (painting)[edit]
- ... that Australian artist Sidney Nolan's 1946 painting Footballer is based on Bill Mohr of the St Kilda Football Club?

The article is new enough, long enough and nominated in time. It is also neutral, have inline citations and spot-checks shows no indication of copy-vio. As the hook is cited by an offline source, I would have to assume good faith to it. However, ref #9 tells my that it was a Keith Miller that was "reputed to be the painting's subject" which you've also included in the article, but do you have any online proof that it indeed was Bill Mohr?

- I added an inline citation to an online source regarding Bill Mohr. There's also an excerpt of the interview on Google Books. - HappyWaldo (talk) 02:03, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
