Only one article in a notable third party source, and that was her local paper, the OC Register. The link to the Orlando Sentinel was simply a reprint of that article. No other non-trivial WP:RS coverage (two articles in obscure limited-circulation magazines and a paragraph on HGTV's site). OhNo itsJamie Talk 14:12, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Repasy was on an E! channel Style Network TV show and a 15-minute interview on HGTV's "Country Style" show, accompanied by an article on its site about her. Romantic Homes Magazine is a nationally distributed publication, as are Romantic Country Magazine and Today's Vintage Magazine. Hard-copy magazine articles of all kinds are not typically available for free online, because of magazine subscriptions. Copies of the magazine covers and articles are on Repasy's website and found and used as a source since the magazines do not share articles online. Those can also be found on Google doc files. The OC Register article appears to have gone across the wire, because it was picked up by at least one other newspaper, the Orlando Sentinel, which is also a notable third-party newspaper. The combined third-party sources cited make this pass WP:GNG. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 15:28, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Note that AuthorAuthor is talking about the subject being on E!/Style when the network was concerned with interior decorating and fashion and not the reality-centric lineup it was before it converted to Esquire Network (same as HGTV); this should be noted by those searching in the nomination. I have no opinion otherwise about keep/deletion at this time.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 17:46, 23 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - She seems to be a big name in the Shabby Chic design world. I see her mentioned on a lot of shabby chic blogs and quite a few vendors sell her items. She's also been featured several times on television. I think she meets notability requirements. Bali88 (talk) 23:00, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment The OC Register article about Repasy was published by The Chicago Tribune here, The Augusta Journal here, the Toledo Blade here, and the Daily Journal in northeast Mississippi here (in addition to the Orlando Sentinel), confirming that the article went out on the AP wire and ran in more newspapers than just her local paper. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 05:36, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - The subject is also cited in a book which I included under External references. It can be moved to References. She is also listed as a notable artist in the books Artists of the American West and Women Artists. A Google books search shows 3 pages of books she is cited in. Added to the other citations, that is grounds for passing notability. Bloggirl (talk) 17:55, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
