[edit] Institute of Mosaic Art

Looks like self promotion. Although not linked, the article seems to be about this shop which runs courses in Oakland, CA and doesn't appear particularly notable. The article was linked to Mosaic with an address for the shop. I'm open to being persuaded that the place is infact notable, but otherwise delete. -- Solipsist 19:34, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment This seems to be an art school rather than a shop. It also got a smattering of local news articles in Bay Area newspapers. Not enough for a "Keep" vote, but maybe someone wants to turn this into a sourced article rather than a brochure clipping. ~ trialsanderrors 10:05, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. As written, the article does not assert sufficient notability. --Satori Son 13:12, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Institute of Mosaic Art is not a "shop that gives classes". It is the only comprehensive educational institute of its kind in the entire United States. [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bayarts (talk • contribs)

• Comment: Hello Bayarts. As the article's original author, if you could update the article with several references from "credible, third-party sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" (per WP:V) that would illustrate the importance of this subject, it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, the article is unsourced and will probably be deleted. Thanks for your time. --Satori Son 20:49, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
