Notability fail. The only source I found on her was not about her artwork. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:48, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

 * The criteria for notability are "For people, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice" or "note"—that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life. Please note that in the world of Tibetan art there are very few women thangka artists. This would make Kayla Komito both "remarkable" and rather "unusual".  Though you may not find references to her in a scan of publications, it is also worthy of note that she paints on commission.  If the quality of the person giving the commission to create a thangka is of any significance, than Kayla having received two commissions for thangkas from the eminent Tibetologist and translator Robert AF Thurman of Columbia University should be taken into account.  As he has stated, regarding a commission, "You have created a masterpiece. It is stunning. I salute you with all sincere gratitude." Moreover, HH The Dalai Lama is aware of her work and appreciative.  As he has stated (from her website http://komito.com/gallery/tibet/index.htm) "You indeed have an artistic gift and talent, which is clearly evident from the beautiful thangkas you have painted." On the basis of this I don't believe her biography should be deleted. LqNj2Zx (talk) 02:39, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
