A few minor articles in scattered blogs & magazines - doesn't look like notability can be established yet per WP guidelines. Looks like a potential vanity article in the making & we've been seeing a lot of these popping up lately. Based on info that's already out there, not even enough material for a legitimate article - article will end up being a permanent stub since the subject's own website is the source for 99% of the material on the Web. Should be deleted & if the subject becomes notable with plenty of neutral sources, address it again then. Laval (talk) 03:22, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Snow keep. The two-sentence article cites three highly reliable sources: a substantial article in a local magazine, a five-paragraph article in a British national newspaper and a substantial article in an American photography magazine that was founded in the 1970s. These are not "minor articles", as the nomination claims: all three are substantial articles, exclusively about Rogers and her work. The "scattered" sources are indicative of global coverage and contain enough material to support an article of several paragraphs beyond the current stub.

  • Weak keep. Article clearly needs work, but those 3 citations appear just about good enough under WP:GNG. Bondegezou (talk) 12:23, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per the above. Yeah, it's a stub, but we have lots of those. The fact that it is backed by what appears to be pretty good coverage in reliable sources? That's what decides this one. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 13:49, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per the above. I will also note that there have been multiple exhibitions of her work in at least three countries -- the UK, France, and the United States -- which suggests that an article about her can be more than a "vanity article".

    • And the article doesn't even link her website, which is a total fail it it was an attempted vanity article... Dricherby (talk) 00:41, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As the article's original author, am I allowed to say "Keep"? Anyway, I only added a few references in the original stub because I didn't want to overdo it right from the outset. This artist has had a wide range of global media coverage: http://www.christyrogers.com/press/2013.html Here are some more high quality references:

    • Anyone, including the page creator is allowed to say "keep" as long as they give a good reason, since AfD is decided by the arguments presented, not by counting "votes". And I'd say that the extra sources are a good reason: they give even more evidence of notability. Dricherby (talk) 19:17, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your info and comments Dricherby. Here are a few more links for good measure:
