This article seems to be written in the spirit of self-promotion. There are a number of web hits on the topic, but no real third-party coverage. Deletion nomination based on lack of notability and third-party coverage. &mdash; Timneu22 · talk 18:42, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete does not meet WP:ANYBIO. Other than that, I agree with the nominator. Minima  c  ( talk ) 18:44, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
 * This is no Wikipedia entry for self-promotion. I have not written many Wiipedia articles recently, and I have not got the encyclopedic standards right I am afraid. Maybe you can help me? I am struggling here. (RedDragonMachynlleth (talk) 19:02, 17 May 2010 (UTC)).

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment. The article looks reasonable to me - IF the artist is notable, which has yet to be established.  Certainly, she's done several shows in several places, which is a good start.  The article claims "awards from BAA and the Sunday Times, and since then more prizes" but doesn't say what those prizes were or when they were awarded or provide any references.  If those prizes were significant, she'd be notable.  If not, then not, I'd say.  I note that there are no News hits for either the full name or without the middle name, which isn't good.

 * Keep per sources which points to notability.--ÅlandÖland (talk) 00:32, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, not to be brusque, but what sources? 3 of the 4 references appear to be written by or under the direction of the artist herself, the other is a blog. I see no coverage at all from reliable sources. -- Nuujinn (talk) 19:35, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Due to the lack of significant coverage in secondary sources.-- Pink Bull  20:24, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
