Non-notable artist, cannot find reliable references for the claims. Ireneshih (talk) 17:42, 20 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep The artist passes GNG and has been an important figure in the community art scene in Chicago for many years. There are several sources where she is either featured or a major part of the article. The RS are easy to find if you have access to databases or use a special search. To claim that there are no reliable references is flat out wrong: even a simple Google search turned up articles proving a few of the claims., I am convinced that you are not able to do a good search for references. Do you have access to databases? Do you know how to do a site-specific Google search? It's OK if you don't know how, but if you're nominating articles for deletion mere days after they are created, you need to do more due-diligence. This is the second article I've come across where I find that you have not done WP:BEFORE in a thorough manner. I think you need to be a little more conservative with your nominations in the future, please. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:29, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep has won both state level awards for her artwork and national awards for her teaching. Has a career spanning decades with numerous articles over time indicating her importance to public art. Clearly WP:BEFORE was not done, as a brief search and adding those references to the file show.
