Non-notable artist. No sources provided, cannot verify; only relevant Google hit is her own website (which, curiously, isn't linked in this article). Article appears to be promotional. Realkyhick 19:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Update: Nomination withdrawn, move to keep. Numerous relevant and reliable sources have been provided and properly cited, and notability now seems to be apparent. Barring any objections, I ask that this discussion be administratively closed. Realkyhick 02:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

 * COI advisory. Based on the username, may be affiliated with the article subject. —C.Fred (talk) 01:00, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm a bit curious as to how you came to that conclusion from the user name, but in any event the author is apparently a single-purpose account. Realkyhick 01:55, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Could it be perhaps that the name "Sliphost" actually appears in the article? Just a guess :) --WebHamster 10:50, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * You copied and pasted in some other site's words. That has been removed.  Corvus cornix 21:00, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - The submitted references, although none of them give in-depth reviews on her work, do demonstrate that her work has been included in various exhibitions. There doesn't seem to be any under her own name but rather as a part of larger exhibitions, hence the 'weak keep'.--WebHamster 10:54, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - I've gone through and did an initial cleanup/wikification, including moving the article to its proper name, and formating the refs (note, rough format only, they need to be gone through more carefully and put into WP:CITET format). Given the quanity of exhibitions plus her other activities (curating, teaching, writing), backed up by numerous refs, I believe that this easily meets our notability standards.

 * Comment: Yes indeed, a major improvement from the original article. As you can see above, I've withdrawn the nomination. Realkyhick 02:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Akradecki. Exhibition record and third-party references are sufficient for notability. COI issues aside, it's looking better. Freshacconci 20:46, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
