Susan Gardner (artist)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Procedural AFD as a disputed PROD. Original PROD rationale by User:JamesBWatson was: "The article is substantially promotional. I can find no evidence of notability. It is difficult to check all of the references, as none of them is online, but what I can find suggests that many of them, perhaps most of them, are not about Susan Gardner, and others are not significant coverage, or not independent sources. The one source which clearly is substantial coverage of her, "Stone Music The Art and Poetry of Susan Gardner", is written by her. My searches have failed to produce any substantial coverage in any independent reliable source." ukexpat (talk) 16:26, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean by a "procedural AFD". There is no procedure that mandates taking a disputed WP:PROD to AfD, and JamesBWatson isn't some inexperienced newbie who needs help with the technicalities of starting a deletion discussion. What is your rationale for deletion? Phil Bridger (talk) 19:22, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - I could find hardly any info on her from a google search, what I did find was almost all social networking sites and her own website. There was this, which I guess you could say makes a very marginal claim to fame, but I'm not convinced since it doesn't offer anything concrete to back up the claim ("internationally known").  Looks like a mostly unsourced BLP, I doubt it would be possible to source most of it since I couldn't find hardly anything written about her.   delldot   &nabla;.  00:53, 18 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment Beware! There seem to be 2 different artists calls Susan Gardner, this one who's also a poet and writer and lives in Santa Fe and owns susangardner.org and another one in Brooklyn who owns susangardner.com. I'm not sure if either is notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:20, 18 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Does not pass WP:ARTIST. Sources commenting on an artists' style does not make them notable as an artist. 1292simon (talk) 12:33, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
