Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Janet Morton
Morton meets the notability criteria for artists, , specifically item 4d (is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums). The National Gallery of Canada is unquestionably notable, and having work in their collection is a major milestone in a Canadian artist's career. There is hardly anything more notable than that. A survey exhibition at the Museum London is also a major factor in establishing notability. I understand that the creator of this article has been blocked because they choose a name that does not comply with Wikipedia:Username_policy#Usernames_implying_shared_use. Their choice of name also raises the suspicion that they have a conflict of interest. I'd like to point out two things: 1) new users are not usually familiar with our user name policy and a gentle warning probably would have sufficed to convince the user to choose a better user name 2) a COI does not affect the notability of the subject. I want to believe that this is a good faith effort by a well meaning new editor, who should be welcomed, given appropriate guidance, and retained as a contributor
