For several years this article has been refbombed into glass, cleaned up, turned into spam again and cleaned up again, however at no point has adequate coverage been found. This seems to be a small time local artist who has never had their work displayed in a permanent exhibition (at a notable museum or show) and doesn't otherwise have the coverage required for artists on Wikipedia.

• Delete an independent search does not find WP:SIGCOV. Checking her web site, she has "Kusama Hirschorn Museum" on her list of exhibitions. Several recent exhibitions were at the CICA Museum, which is a paid exhibition. Very fishy. GNG fail.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 23:32, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
• Delete as WP:GNG fail. JavaHurricane 06:45, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

• I disagree, her work is very well known here in Europe and I saw on her instagram that she had a solo show in a Chelsea earlier this year at Saci, which is a well known gallery. If you google it a lot comes up:

• Delete - After a BEFORE search, I was unable to find anything that substantiates notability. Fails GNG and NARTIST. No SIGCOV in reliable sources, could only find social media, blogs, listings; no reviews nor evidence of notable collections. Netherzone (talk) 01:17, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
• KEEP: WP:N: Familiar with the artist and her work, as she is a big name in the art world. I have seen her work at Art Basel the last three years and have seen her work at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. Wally1983 (talk) 15:29, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

And I've seen my 3 year old nephew's work on the wall at his daycare, it's beautiful. That doesn't make it notable. Praxidicae (talk) 15:46, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Wally1983 is a single-purpose account that has only edited Sam Heydt.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:25, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

• KEEP: She is absolutely a notable figure in the art world and meets WP:BIO criteria, article needs cleanup and to be de-stubbed to better establish her notability.213.229.25.38 (talk) 16:42, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Welcome, single purpose account #3.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:09, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

• Delete — Doesn’t satisfy and criterion from WP:ARTIST & generally lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources. Celestina007 (talk) 17:01, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
• KEEP: WP:GNG · WP:SIGCOV are met:

Artist goes by several names: Sam Heydt, Samantha Heydt, HEYDT, so information about her work is scattered. If you research her thoroughly she meets WP:WEB standards. Also Museums and galleries don’t always keep a backlog of previous exhibitions, which might explain why you won’t find coverage online from a show several years ago.17:30, 24 May 2020 (UTC)24.250.35.17 (talk)

• Delete per nom and salt as well. --Stay safe, ◊PRAHLAD^balaji (M•T•A•C) This message was left at 19:14, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
• Delete as the exhibitions don't add up to NARTIST. While legit, I don't think that the Aesthetica Art Prize meets ANYBIO (it is worth noting that the Aesthetica page is flagged for PROMO.) I'm troubled that the only singnificant exhbitions claimed on her CV were unverifiable: Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (in Kusama's solo show?!?!?!), the Hermitage, and Fondation Beyeler. Lastly, I note Broadway Gallery on the list, a notorious vanity gallery.Theredproject (talk) 00:29, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Re the Hirschorn, I once saw an artist's CV with a "museums visited" section. I am wondering if that is what the Kusama entry what it is.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:41, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

• Delete there is a lack of turly substantive sources as called for by GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:05, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
