An unsourced BLP, I could only find one WP:RS on JSTOR, which was a review of her book. [1]. Other sources found on Google, JSTOR, and posted on her talk page were her publications or mentions in passing. I tried searching for the lifetime achievement award mentioned in the article but was unable to verify it. Z1720 (talk) 22:14, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Looking through the page history, it appears that this page has been used as an advertising platform for the subject, via many inline links to her books and projects. I did not see a single proper source in its 11 year history. I could not find proof of notability in secondary sources during a search. She is mentioned a few times in the news as the founder of a food Coop in NY city. All of the books appear to have come from a self-publishing outfit called rockportpubs.com. Very clear GNG fail.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:08, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - While this is a clear-cut case of not passing NARTIST nor GNG, I thought that she might meet ACADEMIC by way of the "Hallmark Professor of Graphic Design" (as it is a named position), however it is in fact a one-semester visiting artist gig that is funded by Hallmark (cards) which is not the same as holding a honorary named chair or professorship. The article has been heavily edited by the artist. Netherzone (talk) 17:49, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm having a hard time finding much online. I don't see any reliable sources independent of this person. She has written a few articles but they're not well-cited. From everything I see, she's local activist. There are literally zero indexed newspaper articles about her. Her social media accounts are not well-followed; she has less than 1/10th the followers on Twitter that I do. Bearian (talk) 21:28, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
