[edit] Herzliya Biennial

Herzliya Biennial (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This art event is taking place for the first time this year in Sept 23rd, while that in itself does not mean it is not notable, the external links cite no sources other than self references. Also reading through article it does not really say why it is important or significant. However I did find 3 news reports [1] But a couple of them are quite short and read like they are promotional.

• Speedy Delete per A7 and G12 as no notability claimed and page reads like a blatant advert unless there have been reviews in independent notable publications about this event since it happened (which I can't completely check because I can't read Hebrew). Given references now provided my vote is now changed to Weak Keep although I do hold that the page still reads too much like an advert and would probably benefit from a cleanup and more sources.

• Strong Keep this was one of notable art venues in Israel this year. I have added links to reviews of the Biennial from Haaretz paper, here is The English review from haaretz - [2] and from Jerusalem Post [3] Marina T. 23:13, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Keep it's a very notable event in the modern art in Israel. I think it's the first and only modern art biennial in Israel, and wikipedia has a lot of articles about other biennials in the world. after reading the Deletion policy I see no reason to delete this article.
