Unknown artist. Hardly meets notability criteria. Basically unsourced. Main contributor User:Jatras is a single-purpose account, possibly in a conflict of interest. bender235 (talk) 21:55, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I can't find anything reliable to show that she passes WP:ARTIST. She's very prolific and probably comes closer to passing the guidelines than some of the other artists that are added on here, but she's just not there quite yet. A search doesn't bring up any reliable sources. I did go over the article to clean up the massive amounts of linkspam, though.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:52, 15 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Keep Drahotová is a notable Czech artist, her works are a subject of interest of important Czech media, see for example a review published by the magazine Umělec (The Artist) (it was written by a respected art critic Lenka Lindaurová), another review published by Czech Television, another one by Petr Volf in Reflex (not a direct link, but a personal website of one of the Reflex's editors), [1] Mladá fronta DNES, [2] Czech Radio etc. There's in my opinion a possibility to write a good and reliably referenced article about this artist. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 16:25, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, seems fine per the evidence provided by Vejvančický above, but currently reads like a promotional piece so this SPA editor probably needs some coaching and a close eye needs to be kept on the article.. - filelake shoe 17:09, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Seems notable enough. I hope Vejvancicky will make something out of this article. I removed a list of group shows and pruned the linkfarm a bit, adding an interview with Czech radio. I was going to close this, but now that I've edited it some I'm probably too invooolved. Still, I think this is a keeper--though I agree that it is a horrible article, haha.
