SPA-created article about a probably non-notable Swiss-English artist. Ref #1-2 are common gallery infos (of the same gallery), ref #3 is mostly about her husband and covers the artist only in 2-3 passing mentions. Ref #4 doesn't point to any direct information about her. A Google search found no in-depth coverage. GermanJoe (talk) 00:32, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[1] is a report about one of her exhibitions, but seems to be written by a connected author as part of university news. GermanJoe (talk) 00:39, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Seems to lack basic coverage. Even the cited "Two Artists of Exceptional Talent" hardly mentions her. I found little more than was cited already in her article. The Visarte Ticino gallery (in FN4) link was dead and defaulted to their main page, but there were other mentions of her on other pages of their website, for example here on page 24. But fails WP:GNG and WP:NARTIST. Three of the eight hits in Google books were "Who's Who" bios of her husband, Paul Glass. One was a gallery catalog of her work from Galleria SPSAS. One was the exhibition catalog of the show "Acqua, terra, cielo, fuoco" running 16 September - 1 October 2000, which featured four artists. A third catalog was a gallery catalog of a 2 March - 5 April 2012 show. Textilforum (2001) listed her once in a sentence with several other artists and one Myths and Counter-myths of America: New World Allegories in 20th Century Italian Literature and Film did not mention her at all. --Bejnar (talk) 22:40, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
