Vivian Beer

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

All the notable sources for her state only one thing, that she won the Ellen Designer challenge. I do not believe that winning that contest alone is enough for notablity. There are other "awards" she won like Smithsonian artist research fellowship,listed only on her website, but i'm not sure if it is "highly selective " enough to pass WP:NACADEMIC Daiyusha (talk) 09:01, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment I did a quick database search, and found these. I haven't evaluated them (and won't be able to for a few days), but putting them here for others to consider and incorporate:
 * Hanus, Julie K. (2011). Curves ahead.(furniture maker Vivian Beer). American Craft, 71(3), 32.
 * Harris, P., & Lyon, D. (2016). Vivian Beer: Woman of Steel. Metalsmith, 36(2), 28-35.
 * Block, A. (2015). Leaning way in. Interior Design, 86(5), 57.
 * She was also included in the smithsonian american art museum "40 under 40: craft futures"  in 2012 at its renwick gallery . And according to her bio (obv would need to be verified) "Her work is included in the collections of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Metals Museum, The Currier Museum of Art and the Museum of Arts and Design, NYC and public art in the cities of Portland, Maine and Cambridge, Massachusetts." Seems like more research is needed to Verify these claims before anyone !votes further. --Theredproject (talk) 13:31, 22 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:ARTIST 4(d), "The person's work (or works) has ... been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums". Per Theredproject, above, I verified that this artist's works are in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston , and the Brooklyn Museum . —David Eppstein (talk) 14:10, 22 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep Even if it is too much effort for a nominator verify the collections an artist or designer makes on their website, that lack of WP:BEFORE should not result in a AfD. At best a cn tag was all that was needed. Easily passes WP:ARTIST with multiple collections in notable museums and sufficient coverage (American Craft Magazine has a lot of info) to sustain an article.

 * Keep if she meets WP:ARTIST by virtue of being in several museum collections (thank you David Eppstein and TheRedProject), then this discussion is not really needed and should be withdrawn to save needless discussion Pinging Daiyusha to consider withdrawal on that basis.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:06, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
