New enough, long enough, meets core content policies. Hook cited to RS, AGF offline source. A number of paragraphs need references though. Jakob (talk) 02:04, 11 March 2017 (UTC)- It is not clear from the article if she was the photographer or the photographer's assistant for all or some of those seven years.

- Above issues resolved - thanks! Tenniscourtisland (talk) 12:58, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- The hook and article are misleading. From the cited source, "up to seven brides waiting in different parts of the studio", it is reasonable to infer that the brides were all or nearly all photographed in the studio, and that Dean rarely if ever went to an actual wedding. No need to AGF, Jakob Coles and Tenniscourtisland, as the source is available online! Edwardx (talk) 13:24, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- Note that Wedding photography has evolved over the years and that initially the practice was to have one or two shots only taken in a studio on glass plates. Its only been with the improvement of film then digital technologies that photographers started attending and recording the wedding ceremony. Please dont confuse current practices with historical practices. Gnangarra 06:33, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
I'm concerned that some portions of the article are closely paraphrased from footnote 2, as the phrasing and structure is quite similar. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:58, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

It has been two weeks, and the close paraphrasing issues have not been addressed. Marking for closure. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:25, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
