Fails WP:Artist, as this person has not made any significant contributions to their field nor are they widely referenced and regarded within their field. The sources do not indicate notability, most hardly have a mention of the artist. Simply because the artist displays their artwork in a gallery does not indicate notability.

Most edits come from the same user, I suspect this is a fan of the person in question, and the article still falls far short of being classified as fancruft. smooth0⁷0₇ (talk) 03:38, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Neutral. I've been asked to comment as a contributor to this article. I basically just subbed and wikified it and I think it may well fail WP:N, but I am in no position to judge that. So I have no interest really in it staying or going, I just wikified it a bit. Si Trew (talk) 13:14, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

:Delete. Fails WP:ARTIST. The external links don't throw up anything that supports WP:N. The Cape Cod Times looks like the most reliable offline source. If it's a profile of the artist, or even a review, I might change my vote. But not if it's just an exhibition announcement e.g. [http://flavorpill.com/losangeles/events/2009/2/12/deborah-martin].--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 23:40, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Delete as things stand. Links to New American Paintings Magazine and Light Leaks Magazine go to a cover page with no mention of the artist. Possibility of keeping per WP:HEY. Ty 10:25, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
