WP:BLP of an artist, without adequate reliable sourcing to support it. Of the five sources here, one is a blog, and three are the websites of institutions with which she has a direct professional association — making them primary sources which cannot confer notability. One source here (#4) looks decent, but (a) one valid source isn't enough to get a person over WP:GNG by itself if all the rest of the sourcing around it is inadequate, and (b) it isn't actually supporting any content that would constitute a genuine notability claim under WP:ARTIST, but merely a single descriptive statement about her style. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if it can be sourced better than this. Bearcat (talk) 03:51, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. no real indication of significance.  DGG ( talk ) 03:06, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as questionable for the applicable notability. SwisterTwister   talk  03:26, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think the press clippings listed towards the bottom of http://www.jamescohan.com/artists/mernet-larsen are enough to demonstrate a pass of WP:GNG. They include in-depth coverage of her art from the NY Times, LA Times, and Huffington Post, by three different critics. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:55, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: Monograph about her work is significant coverage when supported by NYTs LA Times, etc.-- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 02:03, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep After adding references and monograph, and confirming that work is in the collection of two major museums, the subject now meets wp:ARTIST Mduvekot (talk) 17:45, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, this is now much better referenced than it was. Consider this withdrawn. Bearcat (talk) 17:28, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
