[edit] Artcore gallery

Artcore gallery (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Notability is difficult to ascertain. No WP:RS that I can find. G-hits for "Artcore Gallery" + Toronto = 577 but none appear to be significant secondary sources. I'm not sure what level is "notable" for a gallery. Pigmanwhat?/trail 04:33, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Is it too naive to take the view that because the author is user:Artcore Toronto then it must be spam? -- RHaworth 06:08, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Article doesn't assert its notability. There are quite a few Google hits for "Artcore Gallery," but it appears there are several galleries with this name in several countries. And even if it is notable, there are such major WP:COI problems that we should probably start over. --Hyperbole 07:06, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete this article reads as the gallery's pamplet.Balloonman 07:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Hesitant delete. I say hesitant only because I'm not so sure what criteria we should apply to art galleries. I don't think I can see this meeting them, though, whatever they are. Feel free to prove me wrong. (P.S. I was sure this was going to be copyvio, but apparently it is, at least, not copied from anything on the internet. I have the sneaking suspicion that it may actually already exist as a print source, though.) - Revolving Bugbear (formerly Che Nuevara) 14:00, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • I felt the exact same thing... it really does read as something already in print somewhere, but I couldn't find anything.Balloonman 21:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as spam - the entire article reads like a press release. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whpq (talk • contribs) 17:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
