The sources do no show that this artists meets our notability criteria
- issuu.com Issuu is a publishing platform, this magazine, Lanetaneta looks self-published, but it's hard to tell because there is no colophon or information about its editor or even an ISSN.
- www.mysoutex.com is about one of her students, not her.
- prayersfromla.org does not mention Barraza-Vega
- www.mysanantonio.com has single sentence about her which is partly a quote: 'The border and Latino culture play a prominent role in "New Arte Nuevo," notably in works such "El Vato Louie" by Corpus Christi artist Grace Barraza-Vega, who calls her paintings "records of my life," adding, "I am a product of Mestizo culture." '
- www.youtube.com is a self-published video of her MFA exhibition
- chimmayaart.com lists her under Exhibiting Artists, but has nothing about her
- patch.com is an announcement, that lists her under Participating Artists
- prayersfromla.org is a catalogue of a project that Barraza-Vega helped organize, not independent coverage.
- feliciamontes.wordpress.com is a blog
- amigos805.com mentioned as "The exhibition features artists ..., Grace Barraza-Vega, ..."
- www.alborde.com is a press release
- kspacecontemporary.org is a dead link
- expressionsgraphics.wordpress.com is a blog post about a juried art show where Barraza-Vega had an entry.
In summary, there is no significant coverage of the subject in independent, reliable sources and none of the subject-specific notability criteria for artists are met. Vexations ( talk) 18:36, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

- Delete - another artist article by a student editor that does not meet our notability criteria per
WP:GNG nor
WP:ARTIST. I guess the way these Wiki-Edu projects work is that the students can bypass AfC, and are instructed to move the articles directly to article space and bypass the review process? It's a mystery to me....

- Perhaps
LiAnna (Wiki Ed) can clarify this? As a reviewer for NPP, I'm often left with no one to talk to. By the time the article reaches mainspace and gets reviewed, the students have usually already left. Editor retention is zero. NPP has a sizeable backlog. We're approaching 10,000 articles, and it can take months before an article is reviewed. That causes a complete breakdown in communication. I have never heard back from an instructor, so I don't know if they're even aware of what gets deleted and why. The students are often required to do a peer review, but those seem to be done without any idea of what we require.

- We used to send students through AfC but the backlog there was so large that articles didn't get looked at until after the end of the term, and you're right many students stop responding at that point. We at Wiki Education try to look at the new articles to ensure they meet notability; I did personally glance at this one but I didn't dig deeper into the particular sources, just noted there seemed to be many of them so assumed it passed notability. Feel free to move it to draft space. We've already noted to discuss notability with this professor before they teach with Wikipedia again. -- LiAnna (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 18:56, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

- Delete - per the exhaustive research of the nominator. Another example of student work that (as noted) gets finished by the end of the semester and then left to the over-burdened review system to clean-up. What is the job description of (Wiki Ed) anyway?

- Delete The article clearly does not meet notability guidelines. I have to admit I think it would be a much better process to limit these students to working on existing articles that need expansion and editing then to send them to create new articles. I also think we should definitely go back to having these articles go through the actual AfC process. I also think we should require all articles to go through the AfC process. Yes it is long, but it is better than what we sometimes get in the current system, which is undersourced articles on non-notable people and even on rare occasions outright hoaxes lasting for over a decade.

- Delete, with regrets. I was hoping someone would turn something else up during this AfD, but it doesn't look like anyone has or will. Sad to see yet another student article from this class go, but the sourcing doesn't hold up and the subject doesn't appear to pass notability guidelines. -- asilvering ( talk) 16:19, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
