 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Autobiography of a non-notable artist who has appeared in one newspaper article. Fails WP:ARTIST. Article created by User:Jackie ohlsen, who also removed the prod tag. Jafeluv (talk) 20:16, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. The article is quite weak, but Borås Tidning is a reliable source. I cannot find references to her on Google News or Google News archive, but that doesn't mean that references don't exist. -- Eastmain (talk) 20:33, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Yes I was in the Borås Tidning, I Fokus-"Målar Med Ljus Och Värme" however it is under my Formal name Jacqueline Ohlsén, My paintings are all signed as Jackie and, as many keyboards worldwide do not have the option for the letter "è", I have dropped it from Ohlsén and my artist name is Jackie Ohlsen which is more easily searched.  The link to the article in the Borås Tidning is and I am a credible artist  known in both Canada and western Sweden and feel any artist with legitimation, exhibitions and credible newspaper coverage should be allowed to have their article featured when the MAIN purpose was to translate the article into english for the benefit of those following her work in Canada and other English speaking countries.Jackie ohlsen (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 00:51, 29 August 2009 (UTC).
 * any paintings in major collections? Any solo exhibitions? Any awards? -- those are the factors that make for notability here.   DGG ( talk )

 * Comment Of the 3 exhibitions I have been in, Sandared was a solo exhibition.It was exclusive to the Sandared Gallery, in the Sandared Bibliotek, in Sandared Sweden, where ONLY my work was shown. I am just pointing this out as I think I had not made that very clear in the article when I paraphrased it. The Borås Tidning, A very reputable Newspaper, gave my exhibition coverage on the entire Back Page of the paper. I guess I was not as notable as a huge fire where 33 people fled there homes. That got the front page. Jackie ohlsen (talk)

 * Speedy Delete If my article is to be deleted, I would like it done immediately, as the many people following my work, who own a body of work, those who display it, or are thinking of purchasing my work in the future may already be questioning my credibility as a legitimate artist because of the flag put on it. I feel that flag should not be visible to the general public search and only wikipedia members and the owner of the article in question, as it ultimately could compromise a writers, singers, artists or any legitimate professional persons career. I appreciate the discussion and consideration before deletion and as I TRIED to point out, it was not a personal biography but rather  a translation of one written by the Borås Tidning.

 * Speedy Delete There is no conflict of interest. I want my article to remain. However it is becoming increasingly evident it will be deleted, so do not drag this on as it may risk compromising my reputation further as a credible artist. Just Delete it.Jackie ohlsen (talk)
