How can you help?

 * 2) Help prove notability for those articles by improving them.
 * 3) Nominate articles for deletion if they fail notability guidelines.
 * 4) Remove articles after they are either successfully established as notable, or have been, sadly, deleted.

Please use these templates when processing these articles

 * - When an article is being worked on.
 * ✅ - When you've resolved notability concerns and the article is going to be kept.
 * - When an article believed to fail notability after your research. Make sure to link to the deletion discussion.
 * - If you need another Wikipedian to review your work.

July 2017
 * Miranda Bergman ✅ She is notable, and is still exhibiting. Added some updated info on her. HugSnugBugRug (talk) 06:48, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Anna Fox ✅ No question she is a notable photographer. Added updated info about her. HugSnugBugRug (talk) 07:18, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

September 2015
 * Georgette Berger Section added to the Renee Magritte article and I've BOLD redirected her article there, based on the sources being largely about her husband (plus a small amount of WP:OR). Unfortunately (though surprisingly) I couldn't see any strong sources online about Berger. Sionk (talk) 06:52, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

March 2015
 * Lisa Gervasoni ✅ I think she's notable as a preserver of heritage land in Australia. Her photography is used to document heritage sites. Not sure if she falls under artist. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:23, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Hannah Stouffer ✅ passes GNG but the article is in desperate need of an overhaul. Will see what I can do at some point. Missvain (talk) 17:14, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Antoinette LaFarge ✅ Absolutely passes GNG. Notable academic and maker, article can just use some clean up. Missvain (talk) 17:09, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Jael (artist) ✅ Most likely meets GNG after some research, just needs more citations. Missvain (talk) 17:07, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Carol Schlosberg ✅ - Result of Articles for deletion/Carol Schlosberg was "keep". Sionk (talk) 19:14, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

November 2014
 * Julie Umerle ✅ - 'Keep' consensus at AfD Sionk (talk) 09:31, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

August 2014
 * Eva Grubinger ✅ - available german language sources suggest some notability. Sionk (talk) 22:38, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

June 2014
 * Anne Zahalka ✅ - Work in major collections, notable solo exhibitions and exhibits. Sionk (talk) 23:01, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

May 2014
 * Anna Bass ✅ - Long dead but widely mentioned in her day with work in major collections. Sionk (talk) 23:24, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Gwyneth Scally ✅ - Probably meets the minimum for WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 21:43, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

April 2014
 * Zina Saunders ✅ - Result of Articles for deletion/Zina Saunders was to keep the article. Sionk (talk) 11:18, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

March 2014
 * Rosy Lamb ✅ - released a notable book in 2013, received a significant award, exhibited at London's NPG Sionk (talk) 13:50, 7 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Tina Girouard ✅ - NB this article was mentioned in the ARTnews article last week (so handle with care) but, apart from mentions in the NY Times blog, lacks proof of notability. * I added some material today (including references to two published sources), but could use some help!--Arthistorygrrl (talk) 19:40, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Fay Kleinman ✅ - long career, known for 40+ years, don't think notability is an issue Sionk (talk) 23:27, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Amelia R. Coats - Developed and de-PROD'd by Penny Richards - Sionk (talk) 20:44, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Andrea Grover ✅ - Evidently a successful curator, but article needs development and further clean-up. Sionk (talk) 14:50, 1 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Susanne Crane ✅ - Seems sufficiently notorious in Minnesota. Sionk (talk) 01:32, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Nicole Georges ✅ - Not a notable artist, possibly a notable illustrator, definitely a widely known blogger and author. Sionk (talk) 01:45, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Linda Obermoeller Was nominated for Articles for deletion/Linda Obermoeller, but was saved. The only thing I could find are snippets - and there's not enough information seen on the snippet view to create meaningful content. Hopefully someone else has better luck.-- CaroleHenson   ( talk ) 04:55, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Susan Derges ✅ - Derges is notable. I added a few references for the Metropolitan Museum, AIC and V&A.Michiel Duvekot (talk)&#124;(contribs)  22:28, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Wickliffe Covington ✅ - I'd consider a long dead widely exhibited artist with work in a public museum collection is notable enough. Sionk (talk) 18:43, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Lillian Chestney ✅ Updated article with citations, added further reading to expand the article, and removed the notability tag. See Talk:Lillian Chestney-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 15:43, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Ruth Hayward ✅ There were edits made to the article and removed the notability and peacock tags by User:Djembayz, who posted a message at Talk:Ruth Hayward regarding Hayward's notability. I agree and I don't see a peacock issue.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 04:37, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Vicki Stone / ✅  Sources and info found after posting on Articles for deletion/Vicki Stone - moved to done  CaroleHenson   ( talk ) 16:36, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Nancy Spender ✅ - I was about to speedy delete this one and then found two excellent obituaries. Sionk (talk) 01:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Laura Marie Greenwood ✅ - Still needs work, but references exist and the books just need to be found. SarahStierch (talk) 02:35, 7 December 2013 (UTC) Yep, I agree, the listing of the books should be very helpful for someone that wants to expand the article. I did a bit more work and resolved the close paraphrasing tag.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 06:07, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Emilie Boon ✅ -- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 04:03, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Anna Barriball ✅ ...found several excellent major news sources about her. Sionk (talk) 22:00, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Genevieve Springston Lynch / ✅ - Nominated for deletion (Articles for deletion/Genevieve Springston Lynch) and additional sources emerged + interest in keeping the article because she was a Hawaiian artist. There are "Further reading" sources to expand the article if someone so chooses.-- CaroleHenson   ( talk ) 12:47, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Janise Yntema ✅ - there are more sources in Further reading to expand the article.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 09:21, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Jessica Voorsanger ✅ - there are a LOT of sources for expansion, for someone that's interested in Contemporary installation art and use of multiple media. See Talk:Jessica Voorsanger.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 17:21, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Pamela Stafford ✅ Not a strong case for notability, posted comment at Talk:Pamela Stafford - I saved it because of 9/11 Memorial mural.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 17:48, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Jenny Scobel ✅ I'm sure it could be expanded if someone would like to research further. Very interesting psychological works.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 01:43, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Sally Schoch ✅ Another borderline case of notability - commented about why I think it's good to keep her article at: Talk:Sally Schoch.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 04:58, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Amanda Sage ✅  CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 20:00, 1 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Julie Heffernan ✅ Successfully improved by SarahStierch
 * Akiko Ichikawa ✅ Was successfully improved and sourced in December 2013 --Sionk (talk) 09:38, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Kathryn Parker Almanas ✅ Sourced article restored by another editor, in early December 2013 --Sionk (talk) 13:53, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Esther Rose ✅ Not a strong case for notability, but using the reasoning from contributors to recent deletion nomination conversations: She was an artist when not many women were artists, she is in AskArt and in a couple of books, she had a special leaning: Impressionist California coasts. There are some remaining citation needed tags.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 18:45, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Marion Nicholl Rawson ✅ Some thoughts/ideas for expansion are found in Talk:Marion Nicholl Rawson.-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 17:47, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Margaret Nowell Graham / ✅ -- Article was not deleted following AfD discussion, but there remains a question over it. Sionk (talk) 13:32, 29 December 2013 (UTC) Worked on article, expanding and adding references where I could.-- CaroleHenson   ( talk ) 16:32, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Marjorie Mikasen ✅ added citations, a bit more information. There may be borderline notability for an artist, but her work on the "ReAction" book, delving into art/film/chemistry, helps with overall notability.--<span style='text-shadow:0 -1px #DDD,1px 0 #DDD,0 1px #DDD,-1px 0 #DDD;'> CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 19:41, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
