Keep (as article creator). As a bit of context, this article was made at the Wikimedia meetup at the Metropolitan Museum of Art where the whole goal was to create articles on underrepresented topics. Farver was a woman in red in the art realm who did receive some coverage upon her death, but didn't seem to merit tons of coverage during her life. I'll admit that obituaries are not ideal sources and the topic is somewhat borderline, currently. That said, there are still reliable sources that establish notability here, she published or co-published several works, and I'm sure that if anybody ever decides to expand articles on, say, past Whitney Biennials (which do have coverage, albeit in snooty art journals and the like), they'd also find more coverage on Farver, so there's room for expansion. If she's of borderline notability, it is still firmly on the keepable side of the border - the arts equivalent of an assistant manager of an MLB baseball team for 5 years who also coached some clubs in the minors. Someone like that would easily make notability (see all the 500+ entries of Category:Minor league baseball coaches), even if they have a short article.

Comment the article hasn't even been through NPP yet. Can we slow down a bit and perhaps give it a chance? Are we really sure that there is just no way in hell that there is sufficient coverage of the subject to sustain an article? I haven't time to go through them but JSTOR has 54 hits for Jane Farver. Google has many. Let's do some WP:BEFORE please. Vexations (talk) 23:44, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
