• Delete as a non-notable artist. I guess one could argue that there's a copyvio as well since the article basically consists of nothing more than the content taken from her homepage, a tag line and two links. -- Seed 2.0 16:42, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
• Comment If her work is notable is she? See Farewell, my Lovely where her art is featured in the book, which has been deemed to be notable enough for inclussion. It seems that if she is prominent enough for mention in that article, then who she is should be expained either there or here. A bad article is not reason to assume non-notability of the subject. I think this bears more scrutiny and/or research before deletion. It appears to be more than vanity spam. Can we find a coupe of independent references to her work? The onus should be on the nominator to demonstrate that we can't. --Kevin Murray 18:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, in any case, Farewell, my Lovely is up for AfD as well (it's the AfD right below this one, as you know). On a more general note, there's no such thing as automatic "notability by extension". In some cases, a single notable work might make someone associated with it de facto notable but it's not an automatism. And, for the record, before I vote I always do at least a cursory search and, when voting delete, I usually verify the results with several follow-up searches. I did do that in this case, and I haven't been able to really come up with, well, anything at all in terms of RS. Now, granted, we're not talking in-depth research here but I do stand by my initial assessment. -- Seed 2.0 09:08, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
