Jennifer Maestre

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Notability not established, does not meet ARTIST. Sources are entirely off the artist's own website (which is 2+ years out of date). The original AfD claimed blogs and GHits establish notability. WP:SPS applies here, because her resume is a resume (used for obtaining commissions, not just an informational listing}. A further perusal of her awards seems to indicate mostly local awards from Cambridge, MA, local exhibitions, local grants, and a lot of honorable mentions.  A perusal of the coverage in her resume indicates 10:1 photos vs. mentions in generic articles, and very little specifically about her.  The blogs don't really establish anything (they seem to be feeding each other and reposting the same content), and the Ghit count alone is misleading as far as substantive relevance goes.MSJapan (talk) 16:59, 27 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep, Coverage by ABC News (Australia), The Scotsman (UK), El Pais (Spain), Wired, and several others, as found in "Find sources: News" above, Widespread coverage in personal blogs was mentioned as an additional factor, not the primary evidence of notability. Evidently satisfies WP:GNG, as well as WP:ARTIST (2, 4b). Hqb (talk) 19:52, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep There's enough coverage in reputable (and international) sources.  Ty  20:50, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Well-known contemporary artist. Mainstream citations are (not unexpectedly) rare, but the wide variety of galleries which have accepted her work shows recognizable stature in the arts. SteveStrummer (talk) 01:16, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
