Although the article has been slightly expanded I am still unsure whether the person is notable: particulary, does having one's work exhibited in a few places makes one notable? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 16:55, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I expanded this article when it was prodded, by adding links to coverage of this artist in exhibitions at a major US gallery and a US university. That seemed to meet key points of WP:BIO - multiple, independent and non-trivial - oh, and international recognition too. I've now added links to reported censorship of this artist at home in Poland. --Mereda 17:45, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination: non-notable. Turgidson 19:13, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment What is it that you guys don't like?? I've added details of her 1997 "prestigious award". --Mereda 21:15, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Info There's also a generic discussion on artist notability that started Feb 14. --Mereda 16:12, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Mereda. Also, Carnegie International and DAAD grant are no small things (I should be so notable...). Freshacconci 18:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Depends what the "few places" are! These are not village halls. Also publications cited. Not necessarily of major, but certainly of sufficient, notability. Tyrenius 23:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Exhibitions and reviews in magazines meeting criteria in WP:BIO. John Vandenberg 01:45, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Any artist that can be described as "synonymous with controversy" in a mainstream art magazine pretty much meets notability for me. Planetneutral 01:57, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Hope we are clarifying notability criteria for nom on these! Johnbod 15:20, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Personally, I do not like her and her so-called "art". However, there will always be someone wanting to check out who she is and the purpose of any Enyclopedia is to provide information on any given subject Tymek 06:12, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
