[edit] Ludwig Trossaert

Fails WP:BIO and WP:CORP (article is a mixture of a biography and a gallery description). Anyway you search it on Google, you get about 45 distinct Google hits, most simple listings and announcements. A non notable company/shop (selling art is noble, but it is still selling). ProD removed and article improved, but not sufficiently. Fram 19:55, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

• Move to Galerie Ludwig Trossaert and rewrite to be about that gallery. I believe the gallery has a claim to notability; Trossaert himself is notable only in that context. --Hyperbole 20:20, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Could you expand on the claim to notability of the gallery? For the moment, most claims beyond existence seem unverifiable (the "important" exhibition of Thevenet, e.g., gives not one review via a Google serach, only simple listing: the same goes for Portielje). I feel that the claims ("important entry point", "important exhibitions") are not supported by any sources. Fram 20:48, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete unless relevance is established and sourced. There are dozens of art galleries in any bigger city, and unless they actually had a hand in launching or rediscovering an artist we shouldn't treat them differently than the bakeries and opticians in the same city. Oh, and zero Newsbank hits. ~ trialsanderrors 01:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
