Biographical article with notability concerns. Google Scholar shows no results for this individual. No significant coverage in Google Books, either. No evidence that works by this individual have been included in museum collections, art reviews, etc. Contested prod.

Comment: Well, at least one of her works is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, see here. Note also that she seems to have been generally known as "Marion Campbell". --GuillaumeTell 20:46, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. And a GBooks search on "Marion Campbell" + pottery seems to turn up someone of the same name who did archeological work on pottery. I can't tell if they're the same person, but this doesn't look all that straightforward right now. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 22:03, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

CommentMarion Campbell" + Hornsea also brings up a plethora of references to her works. Millers antiques site has a flower holder of hers and ebay has a fair number of of her named works on offer. The V&A (as mentioned above) also has her work. My vote is to Keep this article.--Harkey (talk) 20:14, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An antiques guide and an eBay listing are not significant coverage (i.e., works that treat the subject directly in detail) in reliable sources. These links show that this individual existed, not that she is notable. Neutrality^talk 16:46, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:32, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification Further to Hullaballoo Wolfowitz's query, there were two Marion Campbells around at about the same time; the archaeological one died in 2000 (evidence here). asnac (talk) 13:59, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
