David Bowie's art collection

[edit]
  • ALT1:... nearly US$13m of art from David Bowie's private collection will go up for auction later this year?
  • ALT2:... David Bowie was an avid art collector, and a portion of his collection worth over US$13m will be auctioned later this year?

  • Article is not long enough. It's basically a list of artists represented in the Bowie collection plus a short piece of prose measuring 1,022 characters. Hook facts not immediately cited. This looks like it needs a fair bit of work to be decent enough for DYK. Bcp67 (talk) 11:18, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
Not gonna argue. It's currently a lightweight article and probably won't expand until after the auction (when more information/sources are published). I'm ok with this not being in the DYK list if it doesn't meet the criteria. 87Fan (talk) 20:43, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
