The comment the reviewer left was:

Sample: Another [coffin] sat on the porch of his home as a phone booth. A third was made entirely of cardboard and could fold up and be tied together with string and paper button like an interoffice envelope. Jensen has made wall hung work of sifted earth slipped between glass and steel that was like the strata of a grave. Jensen demonstrated a gift of generating life from death both in his exploration of death as a choice, as well as his willingness to dismember his own artwork and then to use the fragments in the creation of other works. No reference provided. Other material too isn't referenced. As for what does, at first glance, appear to be referenced: Familysearch.org isn't usable: see Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. If Jensen chose to increase his productivity and exhibit his work at [...] galleries that included such and such, then the fact that he had one or more exhibition in each is what must be referenced. (A reference is not merely for "Would you like to read more about this gallery? If so, click here.") --

R. A. Jensen was a faculty member at a college I was associated with in the late 1970s. Upon his passing in 2022 his family hunted me down through social media asking if I would consider exploring R. A. Jensen as a subject of the college courses that I teach in art theory and contemporary practice. The Wikipedia entry is a by product of interviews with surviving family members, university peers, journalist, and former students. Prof. Gard Jones (talk) 20:41, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Continuation from AfC helpdesk

I took the liberty of amending your User page to avoid deletion. Your User page is for the purpose of writing about your interests as a Wikipedia editor, not the place for you resume. Its a common mistake and feel free to revert my changes but doing so will make is vulnerable to deletion again. As for the draft, Jenson is what I would term a "weak borderline". meaning not entirely "nothing" but not enough to instill enough confidence it would survive a deletion discussion, which is what we are ultimately tasked to determine as reviewers. Also, keep in mind we are all volunteers so time is precious. With that said, you are welcome to reach out to me directly on my talk page (click the "talk" link by my signature) if additional sources come to light.
