Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sara Page
Unless donating ones paintings to the Wolverhampton Art Gallery satisfies some easy criterion of . I don't see that being a little-noted and long forgotten artist qualifies her for an encyclopedia article. Lots of  (almost all?) artists have painted live models  and have "attempted to reach technical perfection" though  Page, Picasso, Pollock or Cousin Helen might have different ideas of "technical perfection." Does the gallery to which she donated the paintings still exhibit them, and what do they say about them? Note: Google Book has some apparent coverage, not viewable online: http://books.google.com/books?id=_MBFAAAAIAAJ&q=artist+%22sara+page%22&dq=artist+%22sara+page%22&lr=&as_drrb_is=q&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&as_brr=0 "Art" 1936:"Among the more important recent gifts are oil paintings by Sara Page,..", http://books.google.com/books?lr=&as_brr=0&as_drrb_is=q&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&id=_MBFAAAAIAAJ&dq=artist+%22sara+page%22&q=+%22sara+page%22#search_anchor "Art," 1939:"Among gifts are oil paintings by Sara Page.." and http://books.google.com/books?lr=&as_brr=0&as_drrb_is=q&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&id=N8oqAAAAYAAJ&dq=artist+%22sara+page%22&q=+%22sara+page%22#search_anchor "Exhibition of the Royal Academy: catalogue, Volumes 125-128 (undated)" which mentions "Sara Page" paintings "Miss Ellen Page," "Miss Elsie Page" and "Harmony in blue.", http://books.google.com/books?lr=&as_brr=0&as_drrb_is=q&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&id=s-itAAAAMAAJ&dq=artist+%22sara+page%22&q=+%22sara+page%22#search_anchor "La Chronique des arts et de la curiosité‎ (1912)- Page 66: "..les miniatures de M--' Sara Page... The snippets do not show whether the coverage was significant, but they might weigh toward notability. Is it the same Sara Page in each case? Someone in England might be able to search in the library of the Royl Academy, but I could find nothing at http://www.racollection.org.uk/ixbin/indexplus?*sform=%2Fsearch_form%2Fbooksform&_IXTRAIL_=Search+Books&_IXACTION_=query&_IXSPFX_=templates%2Fsummary%2F&_IXresults_=y&name=&other_role=&title=Exhibition+of+the+Royal+Academy&all_fields=&subject=&name_as_subject=&publisher=&date=&place_pub=&binding=&language=&isbn=&sort_by=&submit=Search their site about Page. Nor could I find anything at the http://www.wolverhamptonart.org.uk/collections/search Wolverhampton Art Museum site.  Others are welcome to try. The nice article by Olga Baird, appended to the article as a reference, which has copies of several paintings and some bio details, does not appear to have been published. Is that correct
