July 2017

Miranda Bergman Done She is notable, and is still exhibiting. Added some updated info on her. HugSnugBugRug (talk) 06:48, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Anna Fox Done No question she is a notable photographer. Added updated info about her. HugSnugBugRug (talk) 07:18, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

September 2015

Georgette Berger Not sure Section added to the Renee Magritte article and I've BOLD redirected her article there, based on the sources being largely about her husband (plus a small amount of WP:OR). Unfortunately (though surprisingly) I couldn't see any strong sources online about Berger. Sionk (talk) 06:52, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

March 2015

Lisa Gervasoni Done I think she's notable as a preserver of heritage land in Australia. Her photography is used to document heritage sites. Not sure if she falls under artist. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:23, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hannah Stouffer Done passes GNG but the article is in desperate need of an overhaul. Will see what I can do at some point. Missvain (talk) 17:14, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Antoinette LaFarge Done Absolutely passes GNG. Notable academic and maker, article can just use some clean up. Missvain (talk) 17:09, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Jael (artist) Done Most likely meets GNG after some research, just needs more citations. Missvain (talk) 17:07, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Carol Schlosberg Done - Result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carol Schlosberg was "keep". Sionk (talk) 19:14, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

November 2014

Julie Umerle Done - 'Keep' consensus at AfD Sionk (talk) 09:31, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

August 2014

Eva Grubinger Done - available german language sources suggest some notability. Sionk (talk) 22:38, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

June 2014

Anne Zahalka Done - Work in major collections, notable solo exhibitions and exhibits. Sionk (talk) 23:01, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

May 2014

Anna Bass Done - Long dead but widely mentioned in her day with work in major collections. Sionk (talk) 23:24, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Gwyneth Scally Done - Probably meets the minimum for WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 21:43, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

April 2014

Zina Saunders Done - Result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zina Saunders was to keep the article. Sionk (talk) 11:18, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

March 2014

Rosy Lamb Done - released a notable book in 2013, received a significant award, exhibited at London's NPG Sionk (talk) 13:50, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

February 2014

Tina Girouard Done - NB this article was mentioned in the ARTnews article last week (so handle with care) but, apart from mentions in the NY Times blog, lacks proof of notability. * In progress I added some material today (including references to two published sources), but could use some help!--Arthistorygrrl (talk) 19:40, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fay Kleinman Done - long career, known for 40+ years, don't think notability is an issue Sionk (talk) 23:27, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Amelia R. Coats Not sure - Developed and de-PROD'd by Penny Richards - Sionk (talk) 20:44, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Andrea Grover Done - Evidently a successful curator, but article needs development and further clean-up. Sionk (talk) 14:50, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

January 2014

Susanne Crane Done - Seems sufficiently notorious in Minnesota. Sionk (talk) 01:32, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nicole Georges Done - Not a notable artist, possibly a notable illustrator, definitely a widely known blogger and author. Sionk (talk) 01:45, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Linda Obermoeller N Was nominated for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Linda Obermoeller, but was saved. The only thing I could find are snippets - and there's not enough information seen on the snippet view to create meaningful content. Hopefully someone else has better luck.--CaroleHenson (talk) 04:55, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Susan Derges Done - Derges is notable. I added a few references for the Metropolitan Museum, AIC and V&A.Michiel Duvekot (talk)|(contribs) 22:28, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wickliffe Covington Done - I'd consider a long dead widely exhibited artist with work in a public museum collection is notable enough. Sionk (talk) 18:43, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Lillian Chestney Done Updated article with citations, added further reading to expand the article, and removed the notability tag. See Talk:Lillian Chestney--CaroleHenson (talk) 15:43, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ruth Hayward Done There were edits made to the article and removed the notability and peacock tags by User:Djembayz, who posted a message at Talk:Ruth Hayward#Removing notability tag regarding Hayward's notability. I agree and I don't see a peacock issue.--CaroleHenson (talk) 04:37, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Vicki Stone N / Done Sources and info found after posting on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vicki Stone - moved to done CaroleHenson (talk) 16:36, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nancy Spender Done - I was about to speedy delete this one and then found two excellent obituaries. Sionk (talk) 01:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Laura Marie Greenwood Done - Still needs work, but references exist and the books just need to be found. SarahStierch (talk) 02:35, 7 December 2013 (UTC) Yep, I agree, the listing of the books should be very helpful for someone that wants to expand the article. I did a bit more work and resolved the close paraphrasing tag.--CaroleHenson (talk) 06:07, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Emilie Boon Done --CaroleHenson (talk) 04:03, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Anna Barriball Done ...found several excellent major news sources about her. Sionk (talk) 22:00, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Genevieve Springston Lynch N / Done - Nominated for deletion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genevieve Springston Lynch) and additional sources emerged + interest in keeping the article because she was a Hawaiian artist. There are "Further reading" sources to expand the article if someone so chooses.--CaroleHenson (talk) 12:47, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Janise Yntema Done - there are more sources in Further reading to expand the article.--CaroleHenson (talk) 09:21, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Jessica Voorsanger Done - there are a LOT of sources for expansion, for someone that's interested in Contemporary installation art and use of multiple media. See Talk:Jessica Voorsanger#Ideas for expansion.--CaroleHenson (talk) 17:21, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Pamela Stafford Done Not a strong case for notability, posted comment at Talk:Pamela Stafford#Notability concern - I saved it because of 9/11 Memorial mural.--CaroleHenson (talk) 17:48, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Jenny Scobel Done I'm sure it could be expanded if someone would like to research further. Very interesting psychological works.--CaroleHenson (talk) 01:43, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sally Schoch Done Another borderline case of notability - commented about why I think it's good to keep her article at: Talk:Sally Schoch.--CaroleHenson (talk) 04:58, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Amanda Sage Done CaroleHenson (talk) 20:00, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Julie Heffernan Done Successfully improved by SarahStierch
Akiko Ichikawa Done Was successfully improved and sourced in December 2013 --Sionk (talk) 09:38, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Kathryn Parker Almanas Done Sourced article restored by another editor, in early December 2013 --Sionk (talk) 13:53, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Esther Rose Done Not a strong case for notability, but using the reasoning from contributors to recent deletion nomination conversations: She was an artist when not many women were artists, she is in AskArt and in a couple of books, she had a special leaning: Impressionist California coasts. There are some remaining citation needed tags.--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:45, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Marion Nicholl Rawson Done Some thoughts/ideas for expansion are found in Talk:Marion Nicholl Rawson#Ideas for expansion.--CaroleHenson (talk) 17:47, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Margaret Nowell Graham Not sure / Done -- Article was not deleted following AfD discussion, but there remains a question over it. Sionk (talk) 13:32, 29 December 2013 (UTC) Worked on article, expanding and adding references where I could.--CaroleHenson (talk) 16:32, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Barbara E. Mink Done --CaroleHenson (talk) 03:40, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Marjorie Mikasen Done added citations, a bit more information. There may be borderline notability for an artist, but her work on the "ReAction" book, delving into art/film/chemistry, helps with overall notability.--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:41, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Dana Levin (artist) Done CaroleHenson (talk) 19:33, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted articles 2013

Colleen Mulligan N Nominated for deletion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colleen Mulligan - it may just be that her career needs to mature a bit more (getting in reliable print, awards/recognition, etc.). --CaroleHenson (talk) 01:39, 30 December 2013 (UTC) ...... As of 1/2, trending to delete[reply]
Colette Saint Yves N - Nominated for deletion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colette Saint Yves) after a bit of clean-up, unable to find reliable sources / prove notabilty --CaroleHenson (talk) 22:34, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Alison Goodwin -- N - I rewrote this one using multiple reliable secondary sources to the best of my ability. Most citations I found were mere mentions, so I did not include them. I have a feeling she might still fail WP:ARTIST. SarahStierch (talk) 08:04, 6 December 2013 (UTC) (See: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alison Goodwin - changed to Cross because of deletion nomination)--CaroleHenson (talk) 01:41, 30 December 2013 (UTC).....
