Fails WP:ARTIST; no works in major collections &c&c. Article unreferenced & smells to me of copyvio. TheLongTone (talk) 15:33, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

- Keep I found multiple RS about her role as a portraitist in the UK, especially her role as a painter of the British Royal Family. Added the sources to the article, rewrote it and removed copyvio issues. Article passes GNG. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:35, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - thanks to the efforts of Megalibrarygirl. Obviously notable.--Ipigott (talk) 07:43, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as there's actually nothing particularly better for WP:CREATIVE, none of the necessary museums connections, nothing else here. Sourced, of course, but still questionable thus delete. SwisterTwister talk 07:27, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
- How are Reliable Sources questionable? Megalibrarygirl (talk) 15:01, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

- Keep The article as it now stands does show notability - being commissioned to produce official portraits of members of the British Royal Family is notable. Neiltonks (talk) 12:50, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
- Firstly, that is essentially inherited notability. Secondly I don't think the lump of paint on canvas in question is an official portrait, merely one privately commissioned by the Windssors. I'd describe the (distressingly bad) portrait of whatever her name is in the National Portrait Gallery as an official portrait. What is it about royalty that makes people produce such shocking paintings??TheLongTone (talk) 15:08, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
- Keep, WP:HEY applies. Cavarrone 15:42, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
