The article appears to fail the WP:BIO guidelines. The citations included are about exhibitions that Lacy has contributed to, these are not independent sources. A search on Google News and Google Scholar reveals no sources to support significant impact. Being a curator is not, of itself, considered notable for an article and BLP articles for curators tend to be supported by evidence of publication history, academic reputation or impact on the long term historical record. The article was created in 2006 and flagged for improvement since 2008, so it seems unlikely that this will be fixed in the near future. Fæ (talk) 11:01, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - generally speaking,  being  a curator is just  a job  like any  other organisational  position and in  this particular case, I  fail  to  see what  makes a case for notability of this job of curator of this gallery or project and the person that  holds it. Certainly  the hotchpotch  of references,  some of which  are dead links - do  not meet Wikipedia's criteria for WP:RS.--Kudpung (talk) 15:09, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as this doesn't fit WP:GNG. I think curators need to fulfill similar requirements as academics. As notability is not inherited, curating a notable exhibition would require a bit more in order to fulfill WP:N. Having said that, few of these exhibitions appear to be notable.  freshacconci  talk talk  19:05, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
