Kent Melton
- ... that Kent Melton, an artist who created sculptures and reference maquettes for The Walt Disney Company, Hanna-Barbera, and Warner Brothers, never received formal artistic training? Source: “I've been an artist all my life," Melton said from his Ozarks home, shortly before catching a flight to the West Coast for work. "I never had any real formal art training. There wasn't art in my school, but I knew I was an artist. I was compulsive about art from the day I was born."” Springfield News-Leader

| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Some close paraphrasing was found, that will need to be corrected. Also the QPQ still needs to be done. grungaloo (talk) 23:01, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Thriley, thanks for doing the QPQ. Some close paraphrasing still needs to be addressed. Earwig is picking up the movie titles which aren't an issue, but some sentences are also being flagged. Once those are addressed this can be approved. Thanks! grungaloo (talk) 02:23, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Thriley: Is this ready to be reviewed? Please respond to the above, or this may be closed as unsuccessful. Z1720 (talk) 19:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the reminder! I’ll fix it up shortly. Thriley (talk) 16:52, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
Nominator was given two and a half weeks and was pinged twice, and has not returned to fix the issues despite being otherwise active. I am thus rejecting the nomination. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:33, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
