Probably not notable enough, although it looks like the artist has had some nice exhibitions. Article reads like a resume/promo. Fails to state the impact the work has had on culture/society. Limited news coverage outside of sourced articles. Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 05:00, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the coverage I found in a search was routine, and did not rise to the point of being independent, significant and of adequate volume to base notability on.104.163.147.121 (talk) 06:58, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for failing the relevant criteria. A worthy artist but Wikipedia's rules are quite specific. -The Gnome (talk) 09:44, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment here are some WP:RS from a quick search LA times NYT canadian art vv sf chronicle. I haven't gone deep, but this appears to show sustained coverage.--Theredproject (talk) 13:32, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Those look convincing until you actually read them. The first two are extremely minor mentions.104.163.147.121 (talk) 15:18, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Also, here is a CV to make the searching a little more focused. Obv everything on there needs to be verified, but it will give a sense.--Theredproject (talk) 13:44, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - 104.163.147.121 How about this paragraph I added, with citations, showing that one of her films was produced for POV and won awards at festivals? It screened at MoMA also, but I can't find the reference. I find it hard to find info about work that was done around 2000 or so, right at the analog/digital threshold so there isn't a lot of paper records, and the digital stuff was overwritten. Here's the para "Her film American Aloha, about the history and rebirth of hula dancing, was produced for the PBS POV series.[5] The film won a CINE Golden Eagle Award in 2003, Silver Hugo Award at the Chicago International Television Festival, and the Bronze Award in Cultural Documentary at WorldFest Houston.[6][7] The film also screened at the Hawai‘i International Film Festival, and the Native American Film and Video Festival at the Smithsonian Institute.[8]" and I noted that the work was supported by NEA and NYSCA funds.
Keep : I'm finding quite a few mentions of her and her work in published books on film and dance. It's tricky because the books and magazines aren't always viewable online, but she's mentioned repeatedly. I've cited a couple. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 02:20, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Not a badly written piece with sufficient sourcing. In addition found an in-depth interview with PBS with concern to her involvement with American Aloha, as shown here [1] along with articles and further interviews with the Huffington Post and Vancouver Sun. I believe she meets Wikipedia standards for inclusion.ShoesssS ^Talk 14:07, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Agree, with Mary Mark Ockerbloom and Shoessss. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:00, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
