Margarida de Ávila

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This artist does not meet WP:NARTIST. She has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, or won significant critical attention, or been represented within the permanent collections of any notable galleries or museums. There are currently no sources for this one sentence stub. I can not find any reliable sources online. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 20:00, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment: Is it asserted that none of the sources in the Portuguese Wikipedia article are reliable? Pam  D  09:13, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah: the "expand" link at the top of the article leads to the unsourced Spanish wiki article; the Portuguese wiki article is very different. Pam  D  09:20, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * not necessarily for establishing notability. Had a career in glass design, is mentioned in the Portuguese Culture Institute's round-up Pintura e escultura em Portugal, 1940-1980. I still think it is a candidate for deletion. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 19:42, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. pt:Margarida de Ávila says that she was part of the 1st and 2d Exposições de design português (description of 2d one here). These look like they could be significant exhibitions. But I don't see anything else that looks like good coverage and the rest of the sources in ptwiki are quite poor. Plus this is a literal one-sentence stub so it's not as if we'd be losing much by deleting and starting over if better sources emerge in the future. AleatoryPonderings (???)

 * Comment, 1st and 2d Exposições de design português do look like pretty big deals ie. describing the 2nd event - "In the opinion of the Portuguese historian Rui Afonso Santos (2003), it was the most significant event in the field of Portuguese design to date." (page 5) (incidently, here is a list of the pieces exhibited) her work still being exhibitied - "Pop & Tutti Frutti" (2019), exhibited at Galeria de Março (see p.89 of this), unfortunately cannot find much else.

 * Comment Thanks for the references. In the mentioned article ("Design Glass Objects: The Portuguese Panorama"), the exhibition is listed as important in Portugal, but our artist is only listed in the footnote as exhibiting there. "Pop & Tutti Fruiti" is a show mentioned in a blog, and again Ávila is listed as an exhibitor, but not featured. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 19:15, 19 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete - None of the sourcing presented here, nor in my due diligence, helps this subject qualify for WP:NARTIST. Blog spot is also not a reliable source and one exhibition at a major museum doesn't qualify one for WP:NARTIST. Missvain (talk) 18:56, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete article is very poorly written, not enough content and not enough references. Ginbopewz (talk) 22:59, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
