Seems to be a promotional article, with most references self-cited, or even bogus (which do not even mention the individual). Similarly, outlandish claims such as "first woman civil servant" in 1984. Such an accomplished profile but a Google search doesn't return much (or anything substantial). User4edits (talk) 15:33, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - my online search results include: 2020 interview in The Hindu, with some introduction; 2020 interview with The New Indian Express; 2020 Broadway World in-depth profile focused on her artistic career; a brief profile for the upcoming 2024 Jaipur Literature Festival.

From what I gather from them, she has not any notable work. At best she is seeming to get into Guiness World Records. Notability in those sparse interviews is deerieved from her novel transition from civil service to art. As I said (also true for the article as mentioned in the nom.) -- a lot of work to enlarge, rarely even a few notable. As for JaipurLitFest, I don't think that's enough, also any event would only put boosting information. Also, WP:NARTIST applies. Thanks, User4edits (talk) 06:30, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:BASIC can also apply, and there are also more news sources in the article: a 2016 Press Trust of India source (in the article as Business Standard and India Today references) based on an interview with some context; a 2018 Deccan Chronicle source with some discussion of her exhibition and biographical context, as well as a quote ("says the curator of the show Sangeeta Gupta"); a 2019 passing mention in The Asian Age, in a source about a sculpture exhibition; a 2018 BroadwayWorld source about her book EKAM : The Supreme One.

I also found a 2022 source from The New Indian Express primarily based on an interview and mentioning an exhibition; a brief mention in a 2020 The Financial Express source with quotes and context, and two book reviews: Contemporary Literary Review India, 2021 ("If you have a book review on a book, send it to us. We will publish it free. We don’t charge any fee for publishing. The quality of your article will decide whether your article will be published. If you want us to review your book, we charge for this") and Setu, 2021 (according to its website: "Peer-reviewed,Monthly Bilingual Journal of Arts from Pittsburgh, USA").

Delete - Excessive reliance on the primary source https://artsangeetagupta.com/, which is referenced well over 50 times in multiple footnotes. ~~WP:TNT~~ --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:39, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The tone seems to be promotional and not according to WP:GNG. CSMention269 (talk) 10:28, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
