Fails WP:GNG.Scarce disc. in reliable sources. Winged Blades Godric 15:16, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Th references in the article as it stands are pretty poor quality. But I think her entry in North American Women Artists of the Twentieth Century: A Biographical Dictionary is determinative regarding retention. There's quite a bit further out there as well ("The Banquet" got coverage in New York, for example). Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 15:52, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The second source is but a coverage of a city-event.It does not vouch for her notability! Winged Blades Godric 16:11, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I am ... unconvinced that the "notability is not inherited" argument means that coverage of an artist's performance art does not contribute to satisfying notability for that artist. That said, depending on the New York article to meet the standard is hardly necessary. The Brooklyn Museum's Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art provides a biography of Stathacos. The National Gallery of Canada does likewise (although it does so to provide background for their holdings of her correspondence and records, it is clear from the biography provided that the gallery considers her significant). She's been the topic of at least a couple of articles in Lion's Roar which are actually already cited in the article; this magazine has a well-established editorial board and is almost certainly a reliable source within its field. An installation of her work in Nebraska received extensive coverage from the Whitehot Magazine of Contemporary Art (whose editor-in-chief, Noah Becker is notable in the field; it is likely a reliable source for our purposes). Narrower coverage of specific works and installations is also widely available. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:48, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

 * '''keep"" - Better referencing required but appears notable due to multiple factors. Jazz4477 (talk) 17:09, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - Subject of article is notable, and works have been widely exhibited and collected internationally for decades. Keep and improve. Netherzone (talk) 21:26, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep easily meets WP:ARTIST with works in the collection of major museums. Mduvekot (talk) 23:52, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - museum collections and entry in dictionary seal the deal for me
