 * I'm seeing some pretty decent Swedish language Gnews results, a lot of it seems to be paywalled though. Is this the same person? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:03, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
 * This is her. Atsme 📞📧 19:14, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
 * OK thanks. So let's keep an eye out for that: there is at least one possibly notable person who shares that name. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:17, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep It seems like she is quite well known (relatively speaking) for the "Association for Temporary Art" group that she co-formed. I found two or three decent Google book scans and added them. This tells me there are likely many unscanned items, and items in Swedish too. My feeling from finding some good refs and from the history is that she is just barely notable enough. Note that theee does also seem to be another professor with the same name in Sweden, although the namesake is in the English field. 104.163.140.193 (talk) 08:11, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable Swedish artist. Included in the Swedish Wikipedia since 2006.--Ipigott (talk) 13:04, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * That doesn't help here though. Either WP:GNG or WP:PROF needs to be satisfied. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 18:50, 3 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep it's harder to evaluate sources in a foreign language, but here are a few pieces I found: Artists establish themselves through social media", coverage in conference proceedings: History of Nordic Computing, some discussion in "five views of Nordic art now", etc. This indicates a notable artist to me.

 * Keep The claim that she is one of the "pioneers in political art and new media" is supported by two sources and would satisfy WP:ARTIST criterion #1: The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique. Mduvekot (talk) 02:12, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per ARTIST DarjeelingTea (talk) 02:32, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment This is hard to decide
 * The coverage in reliable secondary sources is minimal. Every single source presented has a very brief mention about the subject. There is not one good sources and certainly not enough to write an article per WP:WHYN.
 * Some of these sources are essentially of the form "the Association of Temporary Art,..co-founded by Karin_Hansson...is...". It then goes on to describe some of the exhibitions associated with the organisation but doesn't discuss anything about the subject's contribution (in fact, it mentions the name of other artists).
 * The subject wouldn't pass WP:PROF at the moment.
 * In case of WP:ARTIST#1, I am unable to find any sources which substantiates the claim that "she is one of the "pioneers in political art and new media""
 * This requires more discussion and I would appreciate if someone can find better sources. The article as it is uses primary sources and has been clearly created by someone with a conflict of interest. See Special:Contributions/Kaihanhan. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 10:45, 9 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - She does seem to meet the notability criteria for WP:PROF.  CAPTAIN RAJU  (✉)   18:36, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
 * made a non-admin closure after casting this !vote. I have re-opened this as such closures cannot be considered legitimate. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:19, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
