Geeta Vadhera

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I can't find reliable sources on a Google search. When I tried to check some of the links that are peppered at the bottom of the article I get dead links and threat warnings. At the very least the link farm at the bottom should be removed immediately. Is it vandalism by an IP? Check the links at your own risk. I think the whole article should be deleted.

References have been updated to reflect websites that have closed All links are active. I have checked each one and added new working links. Geeta Vadhera has had a long stellar career as an artist and has had multiple exhibitions much before the internet was invented. She is an awardee of the Bharat Nirman Award as well and reference to the same has been provided. Please attempt Google Search again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.139.128.252 (talk) 03:22, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment gosh yes the article needs some work for sure - currently undecided on notability I did find an article in the Khaleej Times - https://www.khaleejtimes.com/article/straight-from-the-heart-4 Mujinga (talk) 02:36, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment in 2010, added a section about modern Indian painting to History of painting with this edit, and added "Geeta Vadhera has had acclaim in translating complex, Indian spiritual themes onto canvas like Sufi thought, the Upanishads and the Bhagwad Geeta." No sources were provided, but perhaps we can ask where that came from? I can't find it. Vexations (talk) 12:12, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment* See also from The Straits Times, Singapore  - Some of the exhibitions are pre internet era so this is article is on microfilm.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.242.172.148 (talk) 05:41, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment, where are the wikinotable galleries/museums that hold her work or significant exhibitions that she has been involved with? at the moment it is a delete from me as not meeting WP:NARTIST or WP:GNG. Coolabahapple (talk) 05:00, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment Uncited material removed. One embedded link remains that throws a security warning. No inline citations added to the article. Modernist never responded to ping. https://www.khaleejtimes.com/article/straight-from-the-heart-4 appears to be a press release with no byline. I cannot find evidence that this artist meets WP:NARTIST. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 02:45, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - Four articles from The Straits Times covering her work in the 1980s:   . Possibly enough coverage to meet WP:GNG?-KH-1 (talk) 05:03, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment The Straits Times is not reliable and the articles are puff pieces. One of the "reviews" was for an art exhibit at a hotel. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 02:07, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
 * They're not puff pieces and The Straits Times is reliable. Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources says "The Straits Times is the largest newspaper in Singapore. There is consensus that it is generally reliable so long as the Singapore government is not involved in its coverage". Cheers KH-1 for the sources! Mujinga (talk) 15:36, 4 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep per discussion and sources. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:33, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources above, the WP:GNG, and WP:ARTIST 4c. There is no case for deletion! gidonb (talk) 12:37, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
