Note to admins: The content of Jill King (singer) was moved to Jill King after the deletion was made. I ask that the page on the singer not be deleted as a G4. I had this happen before with Shane Minor, and I don't want it to happen again. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 04:31, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jill King

Jill King (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article a couple of claims to notability, but I don't think that it's quite enough. Claims that her art is in the Brookfield Zoo and Encyclopedia Britannica are unsourced and appear unverifiable. Only reference is to a redlink and appears primary. A search for reliable sources turned up none.

(Note: This AfD is not biased in any way by the fact that I have just created Jill King (singer), a page on an unrelated country music artist. However, should this page be deleted, I would appreciate if the content from Jill King (singer) were moved here, to conform with naming conventions.)

  • Delete per WP:BIO. Even if the unsupported claims do turn out to be true, still seems to be on the wrong side of the bar of notability. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment So far, all the reviews listed here check out. Artemis-Arethusa, who created the article, has a good understanding of the Chicago art scene, but unfortunately xe hasn't edited since October, so I'm not sure if xe'll see this discussion. In the meantime, I'll see what I can do to clean up the article. Zagalejo^^^ 19:05, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Eh, never mind. I'm not sure how much I can do with this article. The reviews generally don't give me much to work with, and it seems her best-known work is just a mural in a suburban theater. Zagalejo^^^ 19:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep if refs can be found. Both the artist and the singer of the same name seem to have borderline notability. The artist seems to have had several exhibits. A few decent references should be enough here. The details of exhibitions, etc. listed on her website appear to be true.--Michig (talk) 19:20, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tony Fox (arf!) 06:00, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, classic example of WP:LOCAL. Obviously an accomplished artist with some Chicago-area recognition, but accomplishment is not notability. --Dhartung | Talk 06:50, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
