Hello Highschoolpuppettier. I don't think Vovsová is particularly notable in the context of Czech art. I can't find any reliable mentions of her online or in the books on Czech art. A catalogue of her works has been published by a local gallery in Pardubice, but that's all. The sources you've added to the article cannot be considered reliable in Wikipedia terms (it is a blog and the website estránky.cz, where anyone can buy a domain). Do you have any better sources? --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 14:54, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
- Everything in the Wikipedia mainspace should be reliably referenced and all subjects and topics should be notable. I'm quite familiar with Czech art history, but this is a new name to me. Of course, it doesn't mean that Vovsová doesn't meet our notability requirements, but - trust me - I've checked carefully many possible news and books search engines. The result is pretty poor. Your article is very nice, but I'm afraid that you picked a not notable topic. Please, don't be discouraged ... I'll give you more time to look for better sources. Best regards. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 15:20, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
- Vovsová is in my opinion a classical example of a regionally known personality, but it is not enough to meet our notability criteria (see WP:ARTIST). --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 15:27, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
- OK, please, don't forget that the sources must be independent of the article's subject. It means that personal documents or correspondence cannot back up articles alone. Thanks for your understanding. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 15:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
