This article violates the "Notability" guideline and the "No indication of importance" guideline. It is essentially simply self-promotion. There is some minor biographical information and lists of shows. The only sources listed are simply passing mentions of shows - nothing independent beyond a simple show review. Having shows and displaying works does not make an artist automatically notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Finsternis (talk • contribs) 03:14, 13 October 2011‎ — Finsternis (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete - not notable, and not supported by the citations provided. It looks like pure self-promotion. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:17, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. I cleaned up the article to be much less promotional. Her work is represented in the permanent collections of two notable museums and she just won a major prize; I think that's enough for WP:ARTIST. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:27, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - wow, nice work, David Eppstein, that's quite different (and a lot shorter) - an obvious keep, clearly Verifiable, a Notable artist. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:45, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Notable per GNG.  Nom, who I recognize has 13 edits to his name so is new, should become conversant with wp:before before nominating further articles.  The same goes for his other AfD -- Articles for deletion/Reuben D. Jones.--Epeefleche (talk) 17:52, 13 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep satisfies WP:BIO — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 17:53, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. In light of the recent significant improvements to the article, I retract my nomination for deletion.  And Epeefleche, I note that my nomination of this article has resulted in a huge increase in its quality. Not all new folks are useless.  Finsternis (talk) 21:15, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
