@Jameslwoodward: I have disclosed my connection to the subject for transparency reasons. The article is not laudatory and is sourced by WP:RS. Please point to any part of the article that does not comply with WP:NPOV. She has entries in the Benezit Dictionary of Artists, Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon, and Le Delarge [fr], articles about her in Libération and Le Monde, and is the subject of several monographs.

• I read the article, and I do not see anything wrong with it. The article does not look promotional at all. If one has RS that say sth else on the subject, they could benefit the article by adding it. The subject itself is notable enough to have an article. Ktrimi991 (talk) 12:42, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Concur with @Ktrimi991, have done a spot check on five of the references and seem clear, I see no overt problems. Not ideal practice, but no lack of transparency. Removing the tag on the article, happy to continue here if editors feel otherwise. Courtesy pings: @Alcaios@Jameslwoodward. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 10:50, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
