Hisae Iwaoka

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Previously proposed for deletion by another editor, the only improvement has been the addition of a primary source. Not clear how this person might meet WP:BIO or WP:ARTIST. No claim of notability. RadioFan (talk) 11:14, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep/Merge. I don't really have time to go through or cleanup my CSE hits, but I note that http://www.sigikki.com/creators/hisaeiwaoka/index.shtml says "A noted artist and illustrator, her installations have been displayed internationally in the group show “Tokyo Girls Bravo,” curated by Takashi Murakami", and this seems to be true http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/05/arts/art-in-review-tokyo-girls-bravo.html "Hisae Iwaoka creates stuffed bears and oddly doglike cats worthy of A. A. Milne." --Gwern (contribs) 15:17 24 June 2011 (GMT)
 * Comment the sigikki.com reference appears to be this artist's publisher so promotional language such as "a noted artist" isn't unexpected and doesn't do much to establish notability. The NYT reference is interesting but the exhibit described there doesn't seem like a substantial part of a significant exhibition that WP:ARTIST is looking for.  Also not seeing references that help this article meet WP:ARTIST  which looks for evidence of the artist originating a significant new concept, playing a major role in creating, a significant work, --RadioFan (talk) 18:25, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep They created a notable series, Saturn Apartments, so they are notable. Having her work notable enough to be part of an exhibit that gets news review adds to her notability.   D r e a m Focus  23:40, 24 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment notability isn't inherited though. Sounds like a merge to  Saturn Apartments might be most appropriate.--RadioFan (talk) 01:18, 25 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - Iwaoka has had three other works recommended by the jury of the Japan Media Arts Festival, in addition to her work on Saturn Apartments. --Malkinann (talk) 01:35, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment is there a reliable source to support that?--RadioFan (talk) 01:54, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the Japan Media Arts Festival site (in English, too!) - I added it to the article before I voted here. :) --Malkinann (talk) 01:57, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
