I do not think this article about a photographer meets WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST. It has been tagged for notability since 2009. There is a link to an Associated Press article which does look like decent coverage and has three paragraphs about Loomis. There is a link to an archived article about an exhibition, which looks as if it could be a press release. There is a quote from a review of her book which I think may be the puff from the book cover (reference just says Review of Portraits of Pregnancy by Ricki Lake and Abby Epsiten, authors of Your Best Birth). I have found and added a recent interview but cannot find significant coverage in reliable sources. Tacyarg (talk) 18:40, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per WP:BASIC - I have been working from a list of sources on her website, and have found more than trivial mentions of her and her work as a photographer in the San Francisco Chronicle (2004), The Los Angeles Times (2004), CBS News (2007), Time (2008), in addition to the Associated Press (2006); there is also a brief mention in The New York Times (2007) and coverage I cannot fully access in The Wall Street Journal (2005). Some of these sources also offer biographical and career information that could be incorporated into the article. Beccaynr (talk) 20:51, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Enough sources to pass WP:GNG and as per sources presented by Beecaynr and per below.

• Keep and Tacyarg this is why WP:BEFORE is a very good idea. I looked at how the article was before you nominated it for deletion, and yeah, it was pretty marginal. It's now not remotely marginal, not going to be deleted, and your nomination statement is so at odds with the current state of the article that it's painful to see the disconnect now, EVEN THOUGH when you nominated it this article was indeed a pretty "meh" BLP. I suggest you withdraw the nomination, because the added sources demonstrate that indeed, Ms. Loomis is exactly the sort of artist who should be profiled in Wikipedia.

• Withdraw (as nominator). Thanks to other editors for finding the sources which I did not find in my WP:BEFORE. Tacyarg (talk) 22:29, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
