 * Delete I find nothing that does not go directly back to her and she cannot be the source of her own notability. Though I tried web, news, scholar and books, I find no RS to establish even the lower threshold of GNG. SusunW (talk) 20:08, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. No independent sources & no claim to notability beyond "average professor". SPA-created article is likely a fan-page or may be auto-bio by an ed not familiar with sourcing requirements. Agricola44 (talk) 13:47, 6 October 2015 (UTC).
 * Delete. She seems to be a successful working artist but not yet a high-enough profile one for WP:ARTIST. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:00, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage to show notability. I agree with David Eppstein, this may be a case of a working, but not notable artist, or it may be a case of WP:TOOSOON.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:57, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. From reading the article and having edited 1000s of wikipedia artist bios over the years, with a dozen solo exhibits, several international permanent commissions, award-winning published poetry, two endowed chairs at universities before her current full professorship at a distinguished university, this person seems to exceed over 90% of the contemporary artists with bios in wikipedia. She's mentioned in nearly 300 googled books. Perhaps one can argue that her art alone, poetry alone, or academics alone is borderline notable, but the combination is solid.Afasmit (talk) 00:23, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
