No notability on her own; falls into category of WP:INHERITED. Fails WP:GNG. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 03:20, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It's not really fair that a photographer can build a career and get gallery shows and news coverage because of who Daddy is. But it is a fact that she meets WP:GNG, (also a fact that life isn't fair).E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:57, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Again, your reasoning flies in the face of WP:INHERITED. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 19:19, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Questions: Where are the photobooks, the exhibitions? Where's the critical commentary? -- Hoary (talk) 13:48, 11 March 2015 (UTC) PS I've just now noticed mention above of "gallery shows". But which gallery shows are these? (I don't see them mentioned in her website.) -- Hoary (talk) 23:56, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good questions, Hoary> If she is a notable photographer, it stands to reason that these things would be easy to find. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 00:31, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom or redirect to Bill Cosby. Everything I see in the press refers to her as Bill Cosby's daughter, not as a photographer in her own right. All we really have in that regard is the praise of Frank Farley, a psychologist she works with from time to time. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:04, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Carrite. ResMar 17:20, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The article says: She has had shows at Philadelphia's Art Sanctuary, the Smithsonian Museum, the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, and other venues. It gives two sources for this. But one of these is overtly a derivative of the other, and neither says anything that I notice about any show of hers at the Smithsonian, the Lincoln Center, or anywhere other than Philly's Art Sanctuary. Her website doesn't seem to do so, either. I don't see publications, and I see hardly any notice taken of her achievements other than in the single philly.com web page. -- Hoary (talk) 00:23, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as nom. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 01:02, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• KeepShe is important to understanding the history of Bill Cosby and what I call "Cosby Demon Mythology" Her positive statement regarding her father is extremely important for example, *Keep</ref> as many dozens of websites carry derogatory accounts of their relationship, for example: Jayraskin (talk) 12:59, 15 March 2015 (UTC)jayraskin[reply]

• The first of those two references doesn't even mention this woman; it's instead about her sister. The second appears to be a derivative of this gossip piece; it's negligible. And even if these sources were instead "extremely important" for "understanding the history of Bill Cosby", that would be a good reason to mention her in the article about him; I don't see why it would necessitate an article about her. -- Hoary (talk) 13:12, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete revisiting to change my vote after a bit of searching. On closer examination, it does not appear that she has been chosen for exhibition by important galleries or venues but, rather, that she has had some public exhibitions as "Cosby's kid". Also surprised that this AFD has not drawn editors who turn up previously overlooked sources, which usually happens in arts-related AFDs, Since her name is pretty unique, I suspect that sources of her notability as a photographer are simply not out there.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:01, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
