 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep, but article needs cleanup or TNT to change it form a CV to a wiki article, and remove endless trivia. She has been active lately and received news coverage, such as this in the Standard: "Phoebe Boswell, an artist in residence at Somerset House, has worked specifically on the female nude, recasting it as a site of power and heroism. Each of her recent series of full-sized portraits, For Every Real Word Spoken, sees a mature woman ‘standing, facing out, naked, taking her own selfie, returning your gaze.’ The women are given a voice through a QR code drawn into the portraits.", and this long profile in the Brooklyn Rail. I found those easily by searching Google news for Phoebe Boswell". There were several other results.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:25, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, the refs in the article are of no use, of the two refs offered above the brooklynrail link is maybe ok, the standard link isn't in depth, I will reconsider if better refs are forthcoming, but for now this is failing WP:V. Szzuk (talk) 19:52, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep - there is plenty of coverage in the last couple of years. The article needs updating to include: that she received the $20,000 Special Prize by the Future Generation Art Prize at the 2017 Venice Biennale; a review in the Financial Times in May this year; an interview in the magazine Contemporary & in April 2017; an article in the Huffington Post in April 2017; a review in November 2017 in Nka (A Journal of Contemporary African Art); four paragraphs about her in a review of a group show of 13 artists in the African Mail&Guardian in May 2017; an interview with her in the journal Mixed Race Studies in April 2017 - as well as the others mentioned by ThatMontrealIP.

 * Comment I have updated the article with more recent exhibitions and reviews, and the awards she has won. It could do with more work, but I hope it is enough to show that this artist meets the WP:ARTIST criteria. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:28, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep The Academy Arts Scholarship is pretty prominent and so therefore meets 1. of WP:ANYBIODavidstewartharvey (talk) 15:03, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes WP:ANYBIO due to the award and the sources added by RebeccaGreen show that this is a keep. JC7V -talk  15:43, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
