Non-notable artist, only slight claim to fame is having done the cover art for a Sonic Youth album, which doesn't seem to be enough to make her notable. Rwiggum (Talk /Contrib ) 01:47, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Marnie Weber is represented by a major contemporary art gallery, one of the most acclaimed in the US. Her work is in notable collections and institutions around the globe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.239.171.246 (talk) 21:29, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment What "major contemporary art gallery"? You're going to be more specific, plus you need sources to back that up. Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 22:30, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

How about Patrick Painter in Los Angeles, Praz-Delavallade in Paris, Marc Jancou Contemporary in New York, and Simon Lee in London? Are these major enough? Her work is also in the permanent collection at LACMA. If you'd like me to get more specific, I'd be happy to provide you with the artist's extensive CV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamstamp (talk • contribs) 00:14, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment Needs external sources - especially the LACMA work, press articles. Who are FRAC? Lots of the article links go to the wrong subject. Johnbod (talk) 11:52, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. There is a bibliography on her Simon Lee gallery CV.. Some refs: NY Arts, Art Basel, LA Weekly, LA Weekly, Art Forum, Pasadena Weekly, Art Review (photo of work), Miami Herald (short text, part of group show), Hammer Museum, LA (Saatchi site editorial post), The Art Newspaper (subscription), Art Forum (7 results - enter Marnie Weber in search box), google books --  Ty  10:49, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - the article needs cleaning and copyediting, but the notability is there, IMO. Many of the links are a bit spammy. --Evb-wiki (talk) 14:02, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * cmt - I cleaned it up a bit & removed most of the spam. I think that helps. --Evb-wiki (talk) 14:25, 16 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Change to Keep - Significant evidence has been provided by the article's creator that the subject is notable. Could someone close this? Rwiggum  (Talk /Contrib ) 14:49, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
