I'm unable to find any coverage that would indicate that WP:NARTIST or WP:BIO are met. SmartSE (talk) 14:46, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I find no references to major collection or exhibitions. I cannot find reliable references to listed exhibitions nor collections. Fails WP:NARTIST. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 22:51, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Ignoring the apparent SPA/COI/PROMO overtones, I do not see how WP:NARTIST or WP:SIGCOV is met. On NARTIST, the text itself doesn't describe an artist who is "regarded as an important figure", is "known for originating a significant new concept", "created [..] a significant or well-known work" or is "represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries". Nor do the available refs seem to support a claim under any of these criteria. On SIGCOV, a search of the national news outlets in Ireland (like the Irish Times, the Irish Examiner or RTÉ) return nothing at all. Zero results. Not even a trivial passing mention. A search in local Clare newspapers, where the subject is based, (including the the Clare Champion and Clare Herald) return just TWO passing mentions. Two passing mentions in two local/regional newspapers is far below any reasonable SIGCOV threshold. Mine is a firm "delete" recommendation. Guliolopez (talk) 01:47, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
