The result was keep. Arguably meets WP:CREATIVE, and with plenty of local coverage in reliable sources and a bit of wider coverage. Consensus of editors is borderline to keep, so this is a pretty easy keep close. (non-admin closure) —  InsertCleverPhraseHere  04:24, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Local artist. Her notability does not extend beyond Ventura County and Caliornia Art Club. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 20:30, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment I just found that California Art Club's award may actually grant passing WP:CREATIVE, taking into account the scale of organisation. But I am still on the fence about it. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 21:20, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm still on the fence too, although she has coverage in American Artist Drawing Magazine, an article in NY-based Epoch Times (is that a WP:RS?), and lots of local press, so she's got some coverage outside southern California as well as locally. The article as originally created was very promotional. Note that the NY Times article cited (twice!) is only a brief mention and doesn't contribute to notability. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:43, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep for now, there is a good amount of coverage of her art, especially in the Malibu Times. Her work is possibly more notable than her but if that's the case then the artist goes along with it as well. Karl Twist (talk) 12:44, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. She seems notable.  I updated the WikiProject assessments to get more consensus, TeriEmbrey (talk) 15:53, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
