 * Keep I added some more sources. It's not a lot, but enough to sustain a stubby entry. Vexations (talk) 12:37, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per the sources added by Vexations. Curiocurio (talk) 13:53, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think this is a case of a notable woman artist who slipped through the cracks of history. The article as it now stands is not enough to pass WP:NARTIST but I'm convinced that WP:NEXIST. I searched online and found that her work work is in the Ohio Craft Museum, so if another collection shows up she will pass. The Smithsonian Archives of American Art contains an archive file from the Women's Building. The contents show that she had a solo show at the Women's Building, and the announcement for the show states that "JoAnn Giordano has exhibited her textiles nationally at the AMerican Craft Museum, New York (now called the MAD Museum), the Textile Museum, Wash DC, and some galleries. It also mentions that her work was features in Fiberarts Magazine, Surface Design Journal and Attenzione. Her CV from the 80's is also in the archive box, and altho it's a primary source, it mentions that she's in the collection of the Lafayette Museum of Art, Indianna and the Century Center in South Bend, Indianna. The CV shows numerous group shows in museums, some regional award/grants, and more press coverage. I'm pretty sure she is notable, but it will take work to improve the article and find the collections and sourcing for the reference section. Netherzone (talk) 19:31, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Update: The archive cited above also has a five page feature article on her by Janet Koplos in Surface Design Magazine; a review of a 3-person show at Artemisia Gallery in Chicago; and a two page feature article in FiberArts Magazine. Netherzone (talk) 20:46, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  D My Son  04:11, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be sufficiently notable based on new sources people have found here. -Kj cheetham (talk) 20:46, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep based on the significant coverage in Surface Design Journal. The Smithsonian archive doesn't hurt, either. Thank you, Netherzone. pburka (talk) 00:15, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
