I set out to source this unsourced BLP and figured I would be able to upon reading the article, but I'm finding essentially zero coverage in reliable secondary sources. Doskova seems to be an accomplished artist and has won some awards, but I'm not sure they are particularly notable (for example a Google News archives search for "John Purcell Prize", comes up with no hits, and even a general Google search only has a few hundred, with about half on the first page mentioning Doskova). Searching Gnews archives for Doskova herself comes up with just one hit, an article that is not at all primarily about her. Google scholar and books yield nothing at all. One could argue that Doskova might meet criteria 4B of WP:ARTIST but even that is unclear. My argument is that she has not received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" (indeed practically none from what I can tell), and as such I think Doskova fails the general notability guideline.

Series of my latest Illustrations were selected to appear in Illustration Annual 51, the May/June 2010 issue of Communication Art. Wait for the issue to come out.....don't be such a bureaucrat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.219.57 ( talk) 20:57, 10 February 2010 (UTC) reply
