Amy Mothersbaugh Roos

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. She is Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh's sister (from the band Devo) but aside from a handful of links on the web, she does not appear (the majority being Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc.) She is not associated with the band. Half of the links provided in the bio no longer exist. She is a gallery owner and may be well-known in the Akron/Cuyahoga Falls area of Ohio, but I do not see any significant contributions to the art genre outside of the temporary installation mentioned in the article. Leaving it open for discussion in case someone can prove notability. LovelyLillith (talk) 18:00, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete unless one of the brothers' articles is a good move target as my searches found nothing to suggest better coverage from two News links and a few at Google browser. SwisterTwister   talk  06:51, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Courcelles (talk) 00:58, 22 September 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete (even though I very much support DEVO). Secondary sources are minimal mentions on blogs and announcement pages. Not notable on her own.New Media Theorist (talk) 03:26, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep She is notable locally. WKYC is the local news station and she's appeared there more tHan once. She's notable for her contributions to the local art community. Notability doesn't have to be world-wide at all, local coverage is still notable coverage. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 03:34, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment It occurred to me that she would be covered by Cleveland's major paper, the Plain Dealer, but I think you need subscription access to that. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 15:05, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

 * So, I searched the Plain Dealer, and found no features or coverage of her as a person. What i did find is that the Plain Dealer once ran an article about a local photographer with this sentence: "The Studio 2091 Mothersbaugh Roos Gallery will open a show of Kenyan photography by Kent photographer Shel Jane Greenberg on Saturday."    Here:  is the search, all 31 hits were for the single article about the gallery hosting that photographer.   A proquest newspaper search on: Amy "Mothersbaugh Roos" - not limited by date.  And one on : Amy Mothersbaugh Roos - both came up absolutely empty.   Delete, though it would be appropriate to mention in a bio of her notable offspring that mother runs an art gallery.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:06, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - nothing in searches to show she has the prerequisite in-depth coverage to show notability.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:15, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: Local coverage NEEDS to be notable coverage. A 30 second fluff spot on the local TV station doesn't cut it.  Where are the feature articles in major newspapers?  No?  Then she hasn't received so much as local coverage.  (Also not sure why this was relisted a second time, with three Deletes against a sole weak keep.)
