Artist subject lacks significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject - existing citations appear to be primary or near-primary sources. Also several significant assertions are unsupported by reliable, independent sources. Paul W (talk) 09:30, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - I am pretty sure this is the work of a PR agent or marketing strategist who is trying a little too hard to publish a WP article on this artist. There are also drafts by the same creator and another WP:SPA waiting in the wings for Draft:Cheryl Kline, Draft:Cheryl Ann Kline, and Draft:Cheryl Ann Kline (Figurative Painter) if this one gets deleted. Therefore: WP:PROMO. While the artist has some technical ability and started her own "school" and self-published her own book, an online BEFORE search does not reveal the type of independent coverage in reliable sources that we would normally find for a notable artist. What I do find are press releases, gallery listings and other primary sources, Amazon and ThriftBooks selling her self-published book, adverts for her "school", and user-submitted content, native advertising "magazines" like Artist Portfolio Magazine where an artist can buy space to have an article, etc. I am not finding WP:SIGCOV such as in-depth reviews in notable art magazines, entries in art history books nor a a track record of important exhibitions or works in notable museum collections. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST. Netherzone (talk) 16:47, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete the article and its three redundant drafts. Some gallery shows and two articles in the same local newspaper that both read like retreaded press releases do not constitute a pass of WP:ARTIST. And you do not get to keep backup drafts waiting in the wings in case your main article gets shot down. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:18, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - Netherzone and David Eppstein have said all that needs to be said about notability. The creators of the drafts (Samism1, Shaunsmith12) should probably be investigated for UPE/socking. -- asilvering (talk) 18:43, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment to closing admin: if this is deleted, what would be the best method for deleting the duplicate drafts? Would salting be appropriate? Netherzone (talk) 20:44, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
