No assertion of notability per WP:Creative, mentions only "several collections" and "several private and group exhibits"; only an official web site is cited. Additionally, the subject is still a doctoral student...... Lithoderm 12:54, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This merits further research. According to Artfacts.net she has work in "Jyväskylän Taidemuseo - Jyväskylä Art Museum, Jyväskylä Lönnström Art Museum, Rauma".[1] These links are given in the Finnish article on her.[2][3] I don't know how to evaluate them. Someone with knowledge of the Finnish art scene would be useful here. Being a doctoral student is not in itself any disqualification. Ty 01:47, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I started a notability enquiry for the corresponding article in the Finnish Wikipedia. During that enquiry, we should get clarification for Ijäs's merits. I suggest putting this discussion on hold until the Finns have had a clarifying discussion in their Wikipedia. --MPorciusCato (talk) 18:13, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Ijäs' "The Vincent Van Gogh and Walt Disney Collection" exhibition in Germany in 2008 was organized by Finnish-German institute and was also noted on the website of the Finnish embassy in Germany. [4][5] Not sure if that is enough to show notability though. MKFI (talk) 21:45, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Rauma is a town of 40,000 so I am not willing to presume their museum notable enough to make her work being there meet WP:CREATIVE. I'm not sure I'm prepared to recognize the exhibition as significant either, unless there is some secondary literature available on it. DGG ( talk ) 01:21, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
