The result was delete. Regretfully, but correctly IMHO, the consensus is that the sources simply are not there to meet WP:NARTIST. Just Chilling (talk) 00:38, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

It appears that this artist just never received the required coverage to clear WP:NARTIST. Web searches are essentially barren; I'm assuming that the old print sources listed at the CWAHI database are the best sourcing that is available, and it's all passing mentions in there (often unceremoniously bunged into vast closing paragraph listings of "other participating artists"). Not good enough for our purposes, I fear. Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:38, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete the sources just aren't to be found. interestingly, the Concordia source in the article has full-text PDFs of numerous very old articles she is mentioned in. However these articles all seem to be trivial/passing mentions. GNG fail.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 12:52, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I like to support articles on historical painters, but I couldn't find any significant coverage here. I searched newspapers.com, and other than her obituary, which provides no new information, she only appears in lists of art exhibitors for events held in Montreal from 1922 to 1935.

 * Abstain I am not even sure if I have the right to vote, since I created the article. When I wrote it I hoped other editors would be able to find more information and sources than I was able to find, but I guess that did not happen. Perhaps one day someone will write a book or article about her, but until then, if Wikipedia does not want to rely on the sources that do exist to support the article, then I am not going to argue the point. It does seem a shame to delete, however, since she did have some recognition when she lived, and if she comes down from Wikipedia, it will be even harder to discover that she ever did exist at all.
