 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article fails notability test for artists, i.e., no notable gallery purchases or exhibitions, Government purchases or notable awards. She is a popular local artist, and her exhibition has been featured in The Independent Utah, but that is the only news item that you can find. http://suindependent.com/st-george-art-museum-erin-hanson/
 * Comment I have blanked this because of copyright problems and listed it at WP:CP. If notability is established and the consensus is "keep", the page will need to be rewritten. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:04, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete does not meet our notability guidelines for artists.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:44, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:NARTIST as has received significant critical attention for her solo exhibitions in museums such as a 42 piece exhibition at the St.George Art Museum Utah, and an 11 piece exhibition at Zion National Park Atlantic306 (talk) 17:43, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not convinced that the St.George Art Museum and Zion National Park are notable galleries and museums, as required by WP:ARTIST. Sure, Zion National Park is notable, but it's not exactly known for its art collection or curatorial excellence, which I think is implied in WP:ARTIST. Mduvekot (talk) 21:04, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
 * They don't seem to be permanent exhibits so I meant they are the exhibitions that have received attention such as here and here,Atlantic306 (talk) 11:11, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * All that these two sources establish is that she has had two shows and been mentioned in two news articles in small, local publications. It's not enough IMHO.104.163.148.25 (talk) 04:36, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete the museum show mentioned is a very low level show. In fact Yelp has a picture of the actual show in question. One might also note that a "museum show" is not the same as being in the permanent collections of several notable museums, per WP:ARTIST. A search turns up nothing in terms of RS. I cannot see what the page had as it has been blanked. If you know anything about the history of art and contemporary art, you can also see that her paintings are extremely run of the mill and do not constitute anything innovative or particularly original that would meet WP:Artist. If her work was in fact original and innovative, we'd see her in permanent collections, reviews and books. We see her work not in those notability-causing things but rather the few run of the mill local news items mentioned above. Ergo, she is not notable in any way. 104.163.148.25 (talk) 04:29, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete The coverage that is out there is sparse, to say the least. What little there is does not convince me that there would be better in specialized references. Most of what shows up is social media based with a couple of minor, local articles. Does not pass GNG or NARTIST. Jbh  Talk  04:43, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable. There's some local-level news coverage, certainly, but no evidence that she meets WP:ARTIST. The St. George Art Museum is apparently not of sufficient importance to merit an article here, and – as says – Zion National Park is not noted for its excellence in the curation of art exhibitions. A word of warning: although it might at first sight appear that Saatchi Art (reference #3) is in some way connected with the rather famous London gallery, it is in fact an online sales site operated by the Leaf Group, of Santa Monica, California.

 * Regarding Saatchi Art as a source, it is actually worse than what you say. Artists who want to be on it need only join and they can then have a page to sell their art. it's self-publishing in the guise of a reputable dealer. As the site says, "Create your Saatchi Art account and start selling your art today". As a source it has zero value.104.163.148.25 (talk) 00:25, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
