French painter. This is borderline, but I think it enough on the delete side to bring it here. There is some coverage, but it is mostly about her promotional work for car companies, which ends up making the article promotional. Recent work by another editor who cleaned up the article and removed unreliable sources means there is only one source left. Here's an example of the sourcing problem:I can find one or two decent sources, but most are just trivial advertising. In summary, my searches do not turn up enough non-commercial RS to rescue the article from its promotional state. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 06:17, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - I cleaned it up and looked for other sources at that point - agree there is not enough. Tacyarg (talk) 09:01, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment, found some coverage of Nielly ie. Le Journal de Quebec - here and Le Soeil - here (states Nielly has been/is represented/exhibited "in about fifteen galleries in France, London, Barcelona and Tokyo." discusses an exhibition at Perreault Gallery, L'Est Républicain - discussing a luxury hotel boom, mentions a Nielly piece, L'Express - 2011 Who's Next Fashion Trade Show (explains the show), International School of Colour and Design blog - "we love :: contemporary artist francoise nielly", Villa del Arte Galleries exhibition - "Francoise Nielly returns to Barcelona to showcase her new collection at Villa del Arte Galleries", Citroën exhibited at their C-42 showroom an art car version of its Survolt concept car "Her work has, in turn, inspired Citroën's designers, who cite Nielly's work as the influence behind the vibrant color highlights on the Survolt.", NSS Magazine - "The Meeting of Two Mistresses: Francoise Nielly X IRM Design", but is this enough to satisfy WP:GNG/WP:NARTIST?

 * Comment A publication (artdaily) that will print, without a byline, something like "Nielly’s work ... is establishing her as one of the most famous French artists of our time." is not serious. She's barely exhibited anywhere. Her own website lists three exhibitions. She is not "one of the most famous French artists of our time". That would be fr:Kader Attia (who ranks 54 in the top 100 at artfacts.net), Christian Boltanski, Daniel Buren or Pierre Huyghe. It's a shame we don't have an article about Attia, we really should.

 * Off-topic comment: well then, here's the article: Kader Attia. He is in two museum collections (MOMA NY, Guggenheim NY) and has huge SIGCOV, so he has guaranteed notability under WP:ARTIST. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 23:35, 25 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete since subject fails WP:NCREATIVE. A lot of advertorials, though, it this counts for anything. -The Gnome (talk) 13:03, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
