Created by Craiger19 (talk). Self-nominated at 10:04, 12 July 2015 (UTC).

Article created 11 July. Self-nom. 12,365 characters. The hook is fun but the fact isn't cited in the article. QPQ done. No image, but you should add one from the gallery: some of these are strikingly beautiful. FunkyCanute (talk) 08:37, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Added explicit hook sentence "His work evolved and for more than 30 years he has made a living carving nonfunctional wooden spoons." Pic added. Thanks. Craiger19 (talk) 17:03, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

That's great but it needs to have an 'inline citation' ie a specific reference that supports the claim. You could perhaps try an alternative hook, something like '... that the work of Norm Sartorius explores what it means to be a spoon?'. Please also remember to sign your comments by typing four tildes: ~~~~. FunkyCanute (talk) 13:23, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Added the inline citation that directly supports the claim. Added an alternative hook also. Thanks. Craiger19 (talk) 17:03, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Good to go. FunkyCanute (talk) 11:53, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

The provenance and copyright of the image are unclear. Even if the article is eligible (I leave that up to others- I note that there are currently issues with tone/POV), this image should not appear on the MP until some issues have been cleared up. Josh Milburn (talk) 23:48, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

@Craiger19: Is your intent to withdraw the entire nomination or just the image? ~ Rob^Talk 08:35, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
