This person does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NARTIST. Of the sources in the article, three are from Wellesley College, where Frisch taught, and thus not independent coverage. The banner at the top of the 21centuryantiques.com article says they were “commissioned to represent” Frisch, so that’s definitely not independent coverage either. My search on Google does not turn up any better sourcing. My search on Newspapers.com does turn up a few hits, with the two best matches I found being from The Day: a 1980 obituary and a 1962 profile of an art exhibition at Wellesley College. All the other hits I looked at were passing mentions (“Frisch exhibiting here on this date” type blurbs). Overall, I’m not seeing enough to establish notability.

• Comment. She has works in the collection of one notable museum. That’s not enough for WP:ARTIST but one more like that might be. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:49, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  It’s worth noting that the museum in question, the Davis Museum at Wellesley College, is run by the institution she taught at. Zeibgeist (talk) 06:56, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment, slightly curious one here; was she related to Theresa Grace Frisch who taught at Wellesley at the same time? Theresa Grace was an expert in mediaeval art and is a published author, making it easier to justify an article about her. Did Elizabeth Holmes Frisch actually publish academically, or just teach painting? Elemimele (talk) 10:45, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
