 * Weak delete. The accomplishments listed in this article all look too minor for WP:ARTIST to me. But if the "press" section can be turned into a list of sources that cover her work in nontrivial detail (not just announcements of shows) there is a chance for passing WP:GNG. In any case this requires major rewriting if it is to be kept.—David Eppstein (talk) 17:25, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete My news sweeps (US, Britain, Middle East, art-related) did not turn up anything, even an unfiltered search ie "Myriam Ghali" (in quotes) did not turn up anything substantive for about six SERP pages. So my view is she doesn't meet the WP:GNG.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 20:58, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep She taught and influenced an entire generation of Lebanese artists. Her status as a female Vatican painter is unique. If her page is deleted, then the pages of many lesser Lebanese artists like Chucrallah Fattouh, Georges Akl, Zena Assi, Joseph Matar, and many more would have to be deleted. Yes, David Eppstein, the "press" section can be turned into a list of sources that cover her work in nontrivial detail and I am willing to do a rewrite with your help. Deleting the page would be too drastic and unwarranted. 02:06, 4 October 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wellingford (talk • contribs)
 * Tentative delete  does not really pass NARTIST based on the present information. I see no proof she is the only woman artist represented in the Vatican, and even if she were, I don't see why that would be notable.  The  bio part of the article is a copyvio from . No art in public collections-- her bio is in the Smithsonian's collection of artist biographies, not her art. Let's see a good third party substantial source. The press section would appear to be mostly mere notices of her shows: if there is something more, which is it, and include page numbers and a quotation.  It's true the other articles mentioned are even more more poorly supported, so there may be a point about cultural bias. But most of the publications about artists' shows for all artists are so dubiously independent that the criterion of art in a major museum is the most reliable.

 * Comment it is nice as a concept, but I suggest to reinforce it with reliable reference from independent sources and as this page is about art to include gallery and images of her work... Also, the structure of the pages should be edited by organising the headers. 86.98.87.236 (talk) 19:06, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
