Outcomes

 * Barbara Bosworth
 * I  listed this article for deletion, because it did not show that she had works in the permanent colection of the museum as required by WP:NARTIST. Ithen checked for myself, and found she did, and added the reference, and have withdrawn the AfD.   DGG ( talk ) 21:14, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
