Not yet notable. No evidence of work in museums or major galleries; no critical coverage; the prize is for "emerging" artists--that is, beginners, which is pretty close to the definition of not yet notable.  DGG ( talk ) 17:40, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. "Emerging" is significantly different from "beginner". The references in the article include coverage in a national newspaper of Nigeria, The Nation. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 19:18, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
 * There are even more excellent sources in Gnews, in even better international publications! However they are all about the same prize and all published within the last month. Isn't that called WP:BLP1E?ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:09, 27 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete one hundred percent of the sources I saw in an online search refer to the fact that this recent college graduate recently won a prize. This is a case of way way too soon, a case of a single event being the only RS available, and a case of an artist who does not meet WP:ARTIST. If she wins a Nobel prize, OK. Beyond the prize, she has no other accomplishments beyond being born and having received a university degree. I agree that emerging typically refers to fully trained artists at the beginning of their professional careers, rather than absolute beginners. Maya Lin was at the same stage of her career (actually she was in fourth year of university) when she was awarded the commission for the Vietnam War Memorial. She was trained, and emerging.
