Article is about a seemingly unknown artist who, by the author's own admission, "little is known about her private or professional life", exhibited only locally and "was not recorded as a member of the Society of Women Artists". Article is cited only to birth/death notices and original research in archival records. Talk page is filed with speculation and guesswork. The list of known works show no evidence she was prolific or well known either. I don't know the motives of the author here (a relative? a west London art lover? art dealer?) but this simply doesn't show any evidence of notability therefore failing WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete: The Talk page contains interesting suggestions on possible ways that more may be discoverable about this person, but a research and discovery process belongs elsewhere than Wikipedia which should be merely presenting verified results. As things stand, I see nothing to indicate that the subject's accomplishments amount to any more than the many other illustrators and exhibitors; fails WP:ARTIST, WP:GNG.

 * Delete regrettably she does not seem to have been noted by anyone. The little information here can be easily recovered if adequate sources are ever found that show her to have been notable. Philafrenzy (talk) 14:09, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
