Working my way through the list of artists of questionable notability at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women artists, proof of wider notability seems very thin for Robin Wesner. She had some press interest for her 2011 solo show, but this was more in the form of an event listing. I can't find any independent proof of her solo exhibitions in commercial galleries further afield than New Jersey. The "New Art International" book suggests it is a vanity publication containing 100s of artists. With no evidence of awards, prizes, or critical acclaim, I'd probably have to lean towards a "delete" recommendation. Sionk ( talk) 10:14, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

- Delete - I agree. While as a member of that WikiProject, I view it as always unfortunate to lose an article about a respected female artist, the policies of WP:N must be respected. I am working on a good faith effort to uncover more information about Robin Wesner through print sources that I have access to but so far I have not been able to find any direct information indicating her notability beyond that which has already been unearthed.

- Delete, agreeing also, unfortunately, since I like to rescue articles on the block if I can. Searched 10 SERP pages (my usual number) didn't find anything much, except maybe show listings, press releases, etc. Would be good to keep more artists in Wikipedia.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 19:06, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
