Keep per
WP:HEY. I expanded the article so I think it makes a decent stub now. This is one of those artists who is mainly discovered after their death. Judging by some of the prominent British Columbia artists who recommended her art, I expect her works will become better known with time. Incidentally, although she signed her paintings 'M. A. Yewdale', I think the name of the article should be changed to Muriel Agnes Yewdale.

Comment - The Government of Canada lists her under 5 different names: M.A. Yewdale, Muriel Agnes Yewdale, Mer Yewdale, Muriel Yewdale; M. Yewdale.; so in
WP:BEFORE searches it would make sense to search under all of those names. Thus far, I've found an exhibiton catalog devoted to her work, published by the Burnaby Art Gallery.

'Fraser' is her maiden name and can be omitted in searches. I'm going to retrieve the exhibition catalog this afternoon and see if there is any useful information there.

I think we should go by the Government of Canada citation, also the article in The Vancouver Sun said she died at 91 years, so the earlier date makes sense.

Keep - per
WP:GNG has enough sourcing now, and per
WP:HEY due to the excellent improvements by
Curiocurio and
WomenArtistUpdates and others. It's now a nice little biographic article on an under-recognized artist who shunned the marketplace during her lifetime who made a significant contribution to the arts of the Pacific Northwest with her body of work.
