 * Delete. This doesn't pass WP:GNG. I don't really get why this has an article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EMachine03 (talk • contribs) 12:08, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

 * A many page interview in Abbott, Lawrence, ed. I stand in the center of the good: interviews with contemporary Native American artists. U of Nebraska Press, 1994.
 * And so appears to meet WP:GNG. Antrocent (&#9835;&#9836;) 21:08, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep per 's sources. Her profile in Contemporary Authors  gives some strong evidence of her notability under WP:CREATIVE.  Also, she was apparently at the center of a 1993 dispute about Native American identity, but I can't read the entire newspaper.com copy of the Santa Fe Reporter article about this.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 05:00, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * There are many thousands of profiles on highbeam that fails WP:GNG, there might have been mention of this person but it is still not enough for passing WP:GNG.  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 07:06, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 * These are not "mentions". The Contemporary Authors listing (and the sources mentioned by Antrocent) confirm that she has been the focus of substantive coverage (see e.g. I Stand in the Center of the Good: Interviews with Contemporary Native American Artists (University of Nebraska Press, 1994)  and has been collected in multiple notable museums, thus passes WP:CREATIVE. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:50, 2 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep, per additional references, seems to pass WP:CREATIVE. EricSerge (talk) 16:15, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
