[edit] Amy Brown
Delete. Not noteable. Google search only comes up with her personal webpage. Endless Dan 18:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Let's keep looking for WP:RS. I note for example this UK website uses her art.[1] This is difficult because she may be well known in the fairy community - the struggle is finding mentions out side this.Obina 19:05, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

- Not sure I understand the ref, Dan. That link refers to the (wrong) argument that other wikipedia articles exist, so this one should. Not the point I'm trying to make. I provided an external web site in another country (in a cyber sense *grin*)that uses her artwork. Since it is commercial site it may not be reliable but I'm thinking she may be notable if we can find the source. If you mean something else, sorry I dont understand your comment. And dare I say WP:GHITS? Obina 19:28, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. Endless Dan, I'm not sure what google search you did, but searching for '"amy brown" fairies' came up with 420,000 hits [2]. Not that I think that google is a good test of notability, but lets at least show an accurate count. Murderbike 20:31, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- The Google search '"Amy Brown" faeries -fairies' came up with another 72,500 hits.[3] Her artwork seems to be sufficiently widespread and, as Obina has already mentioned, sold internationally. Since the notability is as a fairy (or faery) artist, most of the Google hits are fairy/fantasy merchants, but the artwork is also available at various merchants who specialise in other goods and services. One example is Herbalmusings.[4] Another website outside her home country is Australian Native T-shirts and Gifts.[5] I have the impression that she is notable.Coyets 20:41, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

- Keep Internationally-known artist with two published books and a huge amount of recognition (among other things, her designs are heavily marketed by Hot Topic). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:21, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. It amuses me that
twothree people in this discussion are using copycat signature designs. Burntsauce 23:19, 17 September 2007 (UTC) - Keep I'm off the fence. My basis is as above, and with the addition of these sources. I trust one of you kind editors will add a few to the page itself.Obina 22:04, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
