Hi Artwanker! Thanks for your diligence in making sure this article meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. I would agree that Baltran's own books (The Fairy That Sneezed, etc) would not in themselves make her notable as an author or artist. However, her Weld Angel protest has received a considerable amount of critical attention from scholars analyzing it as performance art. Here are some links to excerpts that use Baltran as an example of performance art and ecological protest:

Media, Biopolitics, and Affect

the Woods: The Battle for Tasmania’s Forests

Next Eco-Warriors

There are other examples like these that appear on Google Books and in scholarly databases. Thanks again, and let me know if you have further concerns about Baltran's notability. Smythp (talk) 19:04, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
