This is a promotional biography of a non-notable artist--I think it's a recreation, but I can't see that with my limited powers. Only one newspaper article or other reliable source mentions here: this article from the Asheville newspaper. Drmies (talk) 20:22, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a very notable artist--notable enough to have her name fall between Princess Margaret and Graham Davis, in a listing of guests that includes such notable persons as Meg Ryan, Alec Baldwin, Keith Richards and the Rolling Stones, Michael Bolton, Phil Donahue, Marlo Thomas, and Prime Ministers and Ambassadors--all of whom have frequented a famous little eatery, Evita's in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

This article about the American-born artist, Rita Genet IS a first-time presence on Wikipedia, and was created in response to requests by fans to learn more about this fine American-born artist who lived for so many years in Jamaica. As described in the July 2009 issue of WNC Magazine, Rita Genet is a fascinating character, with fans all over the world. Wikipedia is a resource that everyone would think to use in finding information about an artist with the grand style of Rita Genet. So, in an effort to provide the many worldwide fans of Rita Genet a place to read about (find), and possibly add and/or contribute to her bio. This article serves as a most valuable resource. There have been numerous news articles written about the career of Rita Genet, however, because of the vast number of years spanning her career, many of these news articles pre-date the World Wide Web, so a simple search won't produce them... ah, one more good reason why this particular article is of service to the readers/users of Wikipedia!— Preceding unsigned comment added by JV Sterling (talk • contribs)

Weak Delete - There's at least a listing for the UNICEF here. [1]. The article has at least a reference. There are many external links that don't provide any verification of anything so I am removing those. To JV Sterling: Being on a guest list is not a reliable source and not a sign of notability.

Thank You Volunteers. I appreciate your input. This is my first article, and I do have a passion for getting it right! I welcome your assistance. I have found newspaper articles (thru NewspaperArchives.com) that support this biography, and I have saved them as .pdf's. Is there a way to link them to this article? Thank you again. JV Sterling
