June Julian

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Artist, academic. I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (biographies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Lincolnspencer with the following rationale "Deleted reviewers note & added response in Talk Pages". Unfortunately, the creator never followed up improving the article after asking what to do on my talk page (I responded at User_talk:Lincolnspencer). Bottom line: I don't see how she passes either WP:ARTIST or WP:PROF. Coverage is in passing; I see no in-depth works about here. Not all academic or artists are notable, and this seems to be the case here. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:01, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Keep Works held in museums, she's shown around the world, etc. She shouldn't be deleted. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 01:48, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you provide sources for that? Those claims in the article are uncited, see also New Media Theorist's comment below. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:16, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment you're right... I was looking at claims from article. I may have been hasty and I'm sorry for that. New Media does have a good point about her being a vibrant contributor. Wouldn't that be an academic notability keep then? Has anyone searched her on lexis nexus? I can try looking thete on Tuesday or Wednesday. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 03:31, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I tried Google Scholar, I see no profile, and only one article from 1997 with 11 citations that seems to match her name and field of work . If what is at June_Julian is her best selection of works, I doubt she comes close to WP:PROF. If you are in humanities and you are listing conference papers as your best "published" works, it's not a good sign... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:34, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Let me search Lexis Nexus after Labor Day. I'll have access by Wednesday at the latest. If I find nothing, I'm ok with changing my vote. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 12:25, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete I agree with nominator. Coverage is very widely spread across different subjects: a show here, a paper on online learning there. I searched "June Julian museum" and could not find a museum with an online listing of her works. Nothing in Google Books. Notable artists are in books. I did find this link indicating that she is in the member's juried group exhibition at the Drawing Center, which is not really high profile show. Artists with as big a career as the Wiki page would have us believe are not usually in member's shows... She is no doubt a vibrant and professional contributor to art and art education, but I don't think she's a notable one. If kept, the article will hopefully be transformed from its current promotional resumé-speak.New Media Theorist (talk) 02:38, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and New Media Theorist; I simply can't find extensive coverage...or any coverage for that matter. Non-notable as of this moment. FoCuS contribs ;  talk to me!  18:45, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article claims that her work is in permanent collections of museums, and in particular sites two, one of which is the Noyes museum. But on the Noyes museum site I could find only a brochure for a workshop and a press release for a temporary group exhibit in which the subject's name was one of several listed at the end in a sentence about "also appearing in..." So to me, this is a failure of verification that means we should apply stricter scrutiny to everything in the article, a standard that I don't think it stands up to. I don't see any independent and verifiable evidence of passing WP:ARTIST. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:32, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
