I don't know arts, but this seems not notable and like an ad. Xiner (talk, email) 19:17, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - non notable per WP:BIO, and I can't find anything really noteworthy through Google or Google News. Jayden54 21:56, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Not everyone in the world is notable enough to be in an encyclopedia, and certainly not this gal.TruthGal 22:07, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Just H 22:07, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - well known israli photographer. Everyone in the art scene knows her. 1300 google Shmila 08:53, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Really? Hard to imagine everyone in the art scene has even had a chance to know her, since her first and only New York solo art exhibition took place... this week..  Say... this Wiki entry was created just a week or so before that... What a delightful coincidence!  Here's a test I use to see if a person is notable - rather than just Google the name, I do a Google search to try to find a basic biography to see where or when the subject was born (it's often the first line of a bio) "Ansel Adams was born in" gets 88 hits.  "Michal Heiman was born in" gets zero hits. TruthGal 16:03, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

She Was the most known photographer in Israel while the 80s, before the internet. Shmila 18:50, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:BIO, had only 1,300 Google hits. Davidpdx 11:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

this article uses self refs, and although it is not a speedy candidate, it does not seem notable enough and thus i send it to Afd. It is, I believe contested by the creator, and may have been created before, as the editor says "notable again, check HE wikipedia" in the edit summary. Phgao 22:35, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment:I'm not sure now, as although it does have a HE article, that article seems short to me, and I could not find any newspaper articles through a Google News search, but of course that only searches English news; and therefore can not be representative of all news on her. I add that I just checked and the article was deleted in 2006, but that does not set a precedent for this Afd. Phgao 23:33, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Here is the last revision before my nom. Phgao 23:39, 5 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep this woman is a renowned artist, her Hebrew and English wiki articles are verified and notable, she presented in Galleries all over the world, much more unlikely persons have articles in this encyclopedia. Marina T. 22:40, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep A quick google search shows plenty of sites and articles to prove notabilty.Ridernyc 22:49, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep one of the more famous artists in Israel. Took part in the "documenta". It's crazy to delete her. Shmila 22:54, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Definitely meets WP:BIO, just needs sources. I'll tag it.  NA SC AR Fan 24 (radio me!) 00:10, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Visual arts-related deletions.   —David Eppstein 07:30, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable.  "one of the more famous artists in Israel" -name another...  "It's crazy to delete her" --Call me crazy.  "just needs sources" ---Meaningless comment which could be made for any nn subject.  Tiptopper 11:37, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Official participation in Documenta is, I think, sufficient to establish notability. The article now has references to books discussing her work.--Ethicoaestheticist 11:50, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Needs to be heavily edited for formatting, POV and WP:PEACOCK, but a Documenta showing satisfies notability. Freshacconci | Talk 19:52, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
