[edit] 9th Street Art Exhibition

    • Note: this nom is the editor's first contribution to the encyclopedia. Akradecki 18:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. This isn't a group, it was a historical, ground-breaking exhibition for its time during a critical period of art history, that was a gathering of a number of notable artists. Meets WP:V and is well-sourced. Akradecki 18:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep Of course I do not have access to several of the sources, but the article seems to fit either the first or second of my automatic keep criteria in that it is well referenced. Given this, and the possibility that the nomination is in bad faith, I reccomend a speedy keep. Cool3 21:16, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Would it be possible to change the heading to: "Ninth Street" Show which more reflects the original poster? Marika Herskovic 22:12, 2 October 2006 (UTC) 22:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep This article needs editing, it is still a little shrill in its appearance. The Ninth Street shows were both real and important to the downtown New York art world in the fifties. As were the Tenth Street galleries and the Whitney Annuals. Modernist 00:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Thank you for appreciating the article. The heading of the article is not clear. There was only one "Ninth Street" Show May 21st to June 10th, 1951. For the first time the public was able to see the best examples of the New York School avant-garde. The "9th Street Art Exhibition" may refer to a collective title of exhibitions on the 9th Street. This article is about one very significant exhibition. There were cooperatives like the Tanager Gallery on 10th Street but it opened later in 1952. The Whitney Annuals were very important but had nothing to do with the "Ninth Street" Show. This show was organized and hung by the artists themselves. It would be inportant to change the heading to "Ninth Street" Show. Marika Herskovic 02:03, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

  • comment please try to be more thoughtful about focusing your articles, they tend to be all over the place, you tend to overuse bold type and double spaces, please look and study the way most articles are constructedModernist 03:00, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • comment: corrected. Marika Herskovic 13:19, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep but cleanup per Cool3 and Modernist. Really, really clean up. --Aaron 04:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Second vote cast by User:Marika Herskovic struck for now. As it stands, the {{db}} template adds the entire AfD page to Category:Candidates for speedy deletion. Please get your formatting fixed. Also, please strike your first vote on this AfD if you change your vote.Aecis I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive 11:56, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • DELETE{{db-Protector 12:47, 5 October 2006 (UTC)}} I find this discussion quite demeaning. I saw the usefulness of wikipedia therefore I decided to contribute. To demand is easy, to differentiate requires learning and to be responsible is the source of all success. I believe that this article is ready for speedy deletion. Thank you.

  • This deletion process started by nn group: ITY. Who is ITY? "Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact name. In general, this page should be created and edited by User:ITY." Should the initiator of the deletion process have no responsibility? Protector 13:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment This whole thing is getting really confusing. The creator of the page, User:Marika Herskovic who also goes by Protector keeps changing votes, and now has created an identical article entitled Ninth Street Show. I don't know if this is an attempt to circumvent the AfD or just a newbie's misguided means of improving the article. I've tried to help this person extensively (see their talk page, which they've recently blanked), but I'm now bowing out. Akradecki 14:18, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I redirected the duplicate article to the original. NawlinWiki 15:38, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
