Keep She was the curator of the Nigerian pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Art exhibitions do not get any bigger than that. The references in the article are good. Many, many more can easily be found by searching. Meets GNG and CREATIVE for the Biennale gig.104.163.153.162 (talk) 10:32, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:1EVENT seems important here. ^{[Username Needed]} 13:02, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. She is recognized among her peers as an important person in the field, per the sources. See WP:CREATIVE.104.163.153.162 (talk) 18:09, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep being selected to curate a national pavilion at the Venice Biennale is a very significant honor. It is the curator's equivalent honor of when an artist exhibits there. WP:1EVENT doesn't apply because she has done multiple other things (run gallery, started school, won awards, etc) I note she also won the "The Future Awards Africa Prize For Arts & Culture’ in 2016" [1]--Theredproject (talk) 01:45, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep She was the curator at Venice Biennale for the Nigerian pavilion. That is a big deal. She meets WP:CREATIVE right there. With multiple relible sources notated in the article that contain significant coverage this article subject clearly passes WP:GNG. Lacypaperclip (talk) 03:15, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
