Comment: Notability is not getting established due to lack of proper sources. Kindly go through WP:REFBEGIN , WP:PRIMARY and do the needful. Devopam (talk) 14:22, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: One thing that would've immediately established notability is museum collections; next, all in-depth third-party news and reviews would especially benefit this Draft. SwisterTwister talk 22:14, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
