I put everything I could find (all notability links, checking all links using variations of her names, HighBeam, British National Archives, British artists site, Royal Academy, etc.) into the article in an attempt to save it, but the article does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:ARTISTS CaroleHenson (talk) 12:41, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - there are claims she was a talented painter but absolutely nothing to back this up. Occasionally these sort of articles are tributes written by a relative, maybe it is the case in this example. It's true that the achievements of women artists are often dismissed by the establishment, but unfortunately for Seaton there isn't even a whiff of a record about her. 'Weak' delete because there's always a chance there is some offline, pre internet material that may surface. Sionk (talk) 12:49, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The WP:ARTIST notability criteria are rather high and exceed the normal round of group exhibitions and sporadic auction sales, which is all I am finding in this case. AllyD (talk) 20:15, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
