The article fails to meet WP:BIO or WP:ARTIST. There are no independent reliable sources in the article and I find no matches at all in Google News and general search matches show no obvious independent sources. Ash (talk) 23:24, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep there is significant coverage in Serbian to meet WP:GNG, here are examples translated into English: [1], [2], and [3]. I would prefer someone that speaks the language add them but if no one does I'll incorporate them into the article. J04n(talk page) 23:41, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The article in Politika could be part of the case for notability under WP:ARTIST#3. Obviously the nomination was based on the scarcity of sources in English publications so the judgement of how to close this AfD is probably a question for the Serbian readers amongst us.—Ash (talk) 23:57, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep J04n's sources have convinced me to keep. One factor in me saying to keep is that the date on each source is different; it's not like this artist has received a brief burst of coverage that died down, but rather, seems to have been noted over a period of time. Ideally I'd like to find more sources but this establishes notability in my mind. I also tend to err on the side of caution with non-english-language topics like this because I think people are quick to say no sources exist just because it's harder to find sources in other languages. The page needs some serious work though. Cazort (talk) 23:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless more evidence is produced. Youngish artist without major gallery exhibitions or museum purchases. Johnbod (talk) 04:23, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Change to keep per referencing...Modernist (talk) 23:04, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note references have been added including reviews of two of her exhibitions, one review was in Politika which is the Serbian newspaper of record. There was also an English language review that was added. J04n(talk page) 04:38, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Reliable third party sources: the Politika review and Jabhoctn interview.--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 16:57, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
