Subject of the article has requested deletion (see OTRS#2015031010014834). Notability is borderline, so I'm filing this AFD on their behalf under WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. Yunshui 雲 水 12:51, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment She actually passes guidelines for WP:ARTIST. However, the OTRS request is from her "spouse" and not directly from Wiitasalo. But, per BLP request I'm fine with delete...but that doesn't mean someone won't write the article again in the future. Missvain (talk) 06:21, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep award winning notable artist, passes WP:ARTIST has no controversial or personal content that requires deletion?. Theroadislong (talk) 12:09, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I want to respect the request for deletion, but can't see how we can apply WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE to a biography with no negative material on a well-known, public figure. The article is adequately sourced at the moment and numerous books, magazines, and news articles can be found that have significant coverage of her and her work (The Canadian Encyclopedia, The Globe and Mail). gobonobo  + c 01:32, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep BLPREQUESTDELETE doesn't apply to an artist here, more or less as Gobonobo describes. --j⚛e deckertalk 21:26, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
