I see no awards. . Her book is in only two libraries a/c to worldcat DGG ( talk ) 02:58, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- Delete Even if the one source is reliable and independent, it is just one, GNG requires multiple. She is an academic, but nothing in the sources indicates that she comes anywhere near passing any notability requirement for an academic. The source says she is "award winning" but does not name the award, so we cannot at present analyze how important her award may be.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:34, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

- Delete -- The one thing that gave me doubt was that she got David Cameron to write a foreword for her, probably while Leader of the Opposiiton. My search on a UK academic library catalogue site (COPAC) indicated that only British Library had taken a copy (and it takes everything), and not the other 4 copyright libraries (which are selective).

- Keep. There is a review here: https://www.senmagazine.co.uk/articles/articles/senarticles/a-picture-of-autism-the-story-of-a-creative-project-for-young-artists-with-autism ; also a piece about her work with special needs children here: http://www.oxfordtoday.ox.ac.uk/culture/videos-podcasts-galleries/flash-inspiration ; a piece about an exhibition she curated: http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/3731626.print/ (one of a few, but all pretty much the same). It doesn't amount to much, but it's something. For Wikipedia, the encyclopedia anyone can edit, to be booting out an article on someone involved with outsider art strikes me as regrettably ironic. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 23:03, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
- delete WP:TOOSOON. Kudos to User:Andreas Philopater for turning up 3 sources. (better than my search had done) http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/3731626.print is about 2008 exhibit curated by Avery that got some press. A foundation was established in memory of her mother, and that foundation works with children on the autism spectrum using art. there was a 2010 article about this work, http://www.oxfordtoday.ox.ac.uk/culture/videos-podcasts-galleries/flash-inspiration, and also an an essay by Avery about this work. https://www.senmagazine.co.uk/articles/articles/senarticles/a-picture-of-autism-the-story-of-a-creative-project-for-young-artists-with-autism But this does not seem to me to suffice to make Avery a notable curator or art historian. Althoug, perhaps whe will become notable as her career continues.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:53, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
