An orphan article. A search in gnews reveals nothing. Gbooks and Australian search engine trove yields little. She has not won any major awards nor meets WP:ARTIST. LibStar (talk) 05:28, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, works are held in numerous collections Hermann Heilner Giebenrath (talk) 12:10, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep, Comment I don't see sources in the article or here that support the sentence saying "Examples of Sumberg's art are held in The National Gallery of Victoria, The Queensland Art Gallery, The Heide Museum of Modern Art and the Smorgan Collection."

Queensland Art Gallery I've found a painting in the Queensland Art Gallery collection at https://collection.qagoma.qld.gov.au/objects/5042 Elspea756 (talk) 16:11, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Update, Heide Museum I've been unable to find any source supporting this artist's work in the collection of The Heide Museum of Modern Art, A search of their collection at https://collection.heide.com.au/objects?query=Sumberg returns no results for "Sumberg."

Update, Smorgon Collection The mention of a "Smorgan" Collection appears to actually be correctly spelled as the "Smorgon" Collection, with an "o," not an "a." The Loti and Victor Smorgon Collection of Contemporary Australian Art was donated to the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia in 1995 according to https://www.mca.com.au/collection/loti-and-victor-smorgon-collection-contemporary-australian-art/ and there is a list of artists in that donated collection. This artist is not among those listed however that list does not appear to be complete. Elspea756 (talk) 15:36, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Update, National Gallery of Victoria There is one result for a painting by this artist in the National Gallery of Victoria at https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/?type=collection&s=sumberg Elspea756 (talk) 15:48, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have added the sources I have found to the article. I am saying "weak keep" on this as the sources are currently fairly weak but I expect that is just due to the difficulty of finding online sources for an artist who created and exhibited much of their work in the 70s, 80s, and 90.

Keep:I have been through the sources and added a link to a copy of the article if I could find it through Newspapers.com. I also found a biographical entry in a book (see further reading). I wish I could see more of the listed sources but can see enough to say she meets notability based on sources. Rublamb (talk) 06:54, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
