Comment: Why is this person notable? You don't even state their importance? I'm not fully convinced this passes WP:NARTIST either. Are there any notable collections she is permanently held in outside of the University? The Guardian obituary was convincing at first until I realized it was written by her daughter and not even wholly secondary (not that it can't be used, just doesn't really go towards establishing notability).

- Comment: This draft is virtually unreferenced. What might seem an exception at first glance is the sentenceTrained at [[Hornsey College of Art]] and a studio pupil of Surrealist artist [https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/catherine-yarrow-17410 Catherine Yarrow], Elstein was also deeply influenced by philosophical and literary thought, particularly Martin Buber’s ''I and Thou''<ref>{{Cite book |last=Ravenscroft |first=Simon |title=An analysis of Martin Buber's I and thou |date=2018 |publisher=Macat International Ltd |isbn=978-1-912453-61-0 |series=The Macat library |location=London}}</ref> and Albert Camus’s ''The Myth of Sisyphus''<ref>{{Cite book |last=Camus |first=Albert |title=The myth of Sisyphus |last2=Camus |first2=Albert |date=2005 |publisher=Penguin |isbn=978-0-14-102399-1 |series=Great ideas |location=London}}</ref>The link for Yarrow doesn't mention Elstein. (What makes it worse is that (i) the linked-to page merely recycles material from Wikipedia; (ii) even if the linked-to page did describe the relationship between the two artists, the placement of the link would be wrong.) The reference following the Camus title is merely to an edition of his book, which will say nothing about Elstein. I can't be bothered to search for a copy of An analysis of Martin Buber's I and thou and then to look through its index, but somehow I have trouble imagining that it talks about Elstein.Every assertion must be referenced, to a reliable source.
