 * Delete, fails verifiability. If her work were really in the Louvre's permanent collection, that would go a long way towards WP:CREATIVE, but I can find nothing supporting that. All we have are claims from the artist's own web site, of dubious veracity. The book touted by the article in its first paragraph, This Earth of Ours, is from an obscure Indian small press (with someone else, "Carlos", credited as photographer), and since then she has apparently moved to self-publishing, so it's going to be difficult to find notability that way. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:23, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
 * A couple of comments. Though the article claims that she's "Also known as Marti Mueller", it's not obvious that Google has heard of a photographer of this name. (Try it yourselves.) &para; The article tells us: "MARTI, Mueller (1979). Africa undermined. USA: Penguin. pp. 1–3. ISBN 978-0140219647." To me this suggests that somebody called Mueller Marti wrote the first three pages of a book titled Africa undermined. But it doesn't take much googling to find that "with Marti Mueller", Greg Lanning wrote Africa undermined: Mining companies and the underdevelopment of Africa. (In the review for the journal Africa, Mueller is given coauthor status; but it's still Lanning who comes first.) -- Hoary (talk) 00:35, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
