Comment: What is needed to establish notability are secondary, fully independent, verifiable reliable sources that provide significant coverage of the subject. Blogs, user-submitted content, gallery listings and residencies and other connected sources do not contribute to notability. The citations need to be formatted properly, rather than being a url pointing to an external website. Netherzone (talk) 22:57, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: It seems that all the sources are non-independent or primary, except for one (AIA piece on her podcast). Not seeing how this can meet GNG nor NARTIST at this time. What is needed to establish wiki-notability are fully independent, secondary, verifiable sources that provide significant coverage of the subject. Netherzone (talk) 15:18, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
