This artist is "scheduled to debut her first solo exhibition" but we already have an encyclopedia article about her. That's too soon. Can we give our subjects some time to actually create the body of work that they perhaps, some 25 years from now, are going to be known for? Vexations ( talk) 14:09, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - WP:TOOSOON this emerging artist is at the very beginning stages of her career. No indication that her work is included in significant museum collections; nor received in-depth coverage in reviews/articles over an extended period of time in independent reliable sources. She is not yet considered a significant contributor to her field, nor created a well-known work or collective body of work, but perhaps over the next several years her career will develop enough to sustain an article. Does not pass WP:NARTIST criteria for inclusion. Netherzone ( talk) 22:53, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- Delete GNG fail. There is a bit of coverage, but the majority of it is published by the organizations she has worked with. Some other sources I saw were interviews. This article is about five or ten years ahead of its time, assuming her career continues on the same upward trajectory. --- Possibly ☎ 01:12, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, everyone. I am the author of this article and I can see it may be too soon. Perhaps this could be moved to draft space for improvements over the coming months? LeahLockhart ( talk) 15:23, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
- Unsure, does not come close to meeting the
WP:NARTIST criteria, but that is not the whole story. A quick search has revealed useful coverage in reliable sources
- Urwin Jones, Sarah (25 January 2021). "Galleries: Artists over the moon at film festival". The Herald. Glasgow. – Interview-based feature
- Spens, Christiana (21 January 2021). "Tako Taal and Adam Benmakhlouf – interview: 'This slow-motion style of festival creates a community of audience members'". Studio International. – Interview
- Smith, Roberta (6 May 2021). "On Governors Island, Art Interventions Are Everywhere". The New York Times. – Mention in a review of a group exhibition
- The first two are substantial articles in a major newspaper and a significant art magazine. The third is a brief mention in the New York Times, indicating an international profile. Her upcoming solo exhibition at Dundee Contemporary Arts may attract substantial reviews - perhaps we should keep this open for a few weeks until it has opened.
