Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Doris Downes


 * Keep.  ABC Newspaper (Barcelona and Spain) have a 1/2 page article on the artist and her paintings in their database.  It establishes notability and is written by the distinguished critic, Dolors Massot'.  It is a pay-for-viewing so cannot be linked, or I cannot link it successfully.   The notable career as a Creative Professional in Design is prior to internet databasing by some organizations (many who do not have the resources to pool their history) so I do not think this information should be discounted, but her artistic career is impressive due to the professional peers she is reviewed with.  I would also like to point out that comments made by Fountains of Bryn Mawr seem out of character for Wikipedia comments and vitriolic in nature when reviewing the history of protests.  They seem personal and one gets the impression that this reviewer may have a score to settle in knowing the artist, personally.  This is not in any way an accusation, more of a reflection.  The comments lack the straight-forward approach that Wiki reviewers tend to give.  I would ask that the Fountains of Bryn Mawr vote be striked for this tally.
