Art gallery doesn't seem to meet WP:NORG - in-depth coverage is largely in non-independent sources such as interviews of articles based on press releases. MrsSnoozyTurtle 01:40, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I did find these in a quick search (One appears to be in use in the article already):
"The Gallerist Duo Championing Unsung Postwar Artists". Surface. September 10, 2020. Retrieved March 12, 2023.

"Stories From PAFA: Elizabeth Osborne Retrospective At Berry Campbell Gallery". Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. September 7, 2022. Retrieved March 12, 2023.

There might be more with a more in-depth search. Silver seren^C 21:28, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately those references are not very independent - the first one is mostly based on an interview with the founders, and a large portion of the second was written by the gallery. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 23:40, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I created the article. Prior to nominating it for deletion, on 25 February 2023, MrsSnoozyTurtle attempted to draftify it. Two editors advised her that the subject was notable. The next day, she left a note on my Talk page accusing me of sockpuppetry. When I asked what prompted the communication, she refused to answer. For the record I have only ever edited from this account.

On 23 January 2023 the subject of the article was connected to Wikidata item Q116312206. This alerted me to the existence of the Wikidata project. Since then I have been studying it so I can contribute to the knowledge graph around the artists of 20th century modernism. The galleries are crucial for historical and knowledge-graph reasons, as they maintain exhibition records, indicate what artists are affiliated, and (its use for commercial purposes notwithstanding) produce important scholarship like the material that MrsSnoozyTurtle seems to be disdaining above as "press releases." (I assume "interviews of articles based on press releases" is a typo.) Recommendation is keep. ImmovableObject (talk) 16:04, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
