[edit] Anne Neely

Prod removed by IP. Article is about a very non-notable subject. An abstract artist is not necessarily notable, even if she has some gallery showings. The article says nothing about her minor awards, and it is unsourced other than the links to her paintings. No pages link to this article, and her g-hits are rather low.

  • Delete Google hits are pretty thin - artsy blogs and gallery mentions. Milton Academy is a private secondary school - seems like she's a school teacher who wanted to be an artist. MarkBul 20:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete No need to be rude, most working artists teach for much of their career. But NN. Johnbod 01:08, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as no real notability is established Corpx 05:19, 8 September 2007

  • Keep If you look at her bio she has work in the Whitney, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the National Gallery, The National Museum of American Art, Washington, D.C. and several other good permanent collections, and more than twenty solo exhibitions, seems ok to me. Clearly though the article needs improvement. Modernist 14:36, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Modernist. In the permanent collections of several major museums. In addition, the bibliography section of her resume lists dozens of reviews of her art, independent published sources about her and her art that if added to the article should make it easily pass WP:BIO. —David Eppstein 15:15, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Her bio [1] shows notability but I found no works listed when I searched the online catalogues of MoMa, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Whitney. Overall though the resume looks convincing: it would only take a few of the press articles to establish notability.--Ethicoaestheticist 23:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment many online museum catalogs are incomplete, with artists in the collection omitted from the online search engines, in many cases. Modernist 13:51, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per above 24.11.202.83 04:25, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. I think she might be notable although at present though there is nothing to prove that. If sources and coverage can be found then I think this could be improved. But if there is nothing to be found, no sources, then I wouldn't see a reason to keep this. Seraphim Whipp 10:29, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. The Boston Globe has a number of reviews of her work [2], and there's one in ARTNews [3]. Unfortunately the full texts cannot be accessed online.--Ethicoaestheticist 18:13, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep several awards, also some reviews of known media, just passes notability - although sources and some expansion would be needed to assure and assert the notability.--JForget 22:50, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
