Snarky comment in the deprod aside, the reason for my original PROD stands. There are a lot of false postives (she's not the one who was married to Leon Uris, death dates don't match). She existed but there's no evidence that she was a notable artist. No evidence she passes WP Bio TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 12:54, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep - I wasn't able to do much, I'm afraid, (it's late, and not really my area of expertise) but I added a couple of refs. She had some good exhibitions, and with work in the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Canada and Metropolitan Museum of Art (I couldn't confirm the last of these, so I relied on the source, but I could confirm the first two), she should be sufficient. Also, two stints as the Artists-In-Residence for the Space Shuttle Discovery is probably pretty cool, but I'm not sure as to how cool. :) She's mentioned in a few art books as well, but they're all in that nasty "snippet view" on Google Books, and I don't have access to the real things at the moment. - Bilby (talk) 14:41, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, per new references. Artist has work at the MET? I'd say notable, even if subject fails certain other parts of WP:BIO. Original PROD was in good faith and appropriate at the time, but in light of new notability claims, I !vote keep. Tan | 39 16:56, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
