Please change Visionaire, under the directorship of Cecilia Dean… to "Visionaire is an art, fashion, and luxury dedicated company which conceptualizes and produces films, public art installations, experiences, branded content, art multiples, and products under the directorship of Cecilia Dean and James Kaliardos. Visionaire was founded in 1991 as a platform for artists and photographers to present work that would have otherwise gone unseen. ^[1]

Visionaire’s issues have been described by The New York Times as “a publication that was neither fashion magazine nor art object but something in between,” ^[2] and are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, NY; The New York Public Library; La Biblioteque Nationale de France, Paris; The Costume Institute at the MET; Victoria & Albert Museum, London; Beinecke Rare Book Library at Yale University, New Haven; Hyundai Card Design Library, Seoul; Instituto Tomie Ohtake, Sao Paulo, Brazil, along with private collectors.

Please replace the section beginning with "The multi-format art-and-fashion quarterly was founded by Stephen Gan..." to "Visionaire was founded by Stephen Gan, Cecilia Dean, and James Kaliardos in 1991 as a multi-format art-and-fashion quarterly. According to Gan, "Visionaire [was] really about a personal desire to do something. These are some of our friends who are artists' favorite images." ^[3]

Known for “toying with the boundaries of fashion and art” ^[4], Visionaire’s list of contributors has grown to include Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Bruce Weber, Steven Klein, Inez & Vinoodh, John Baldessari, Mert & Marcus, Raf Simons, Alexander McQueen, Kate Moss, Gigi Hadid, Demna Gvasalia, Shirin Neshat, Yoko Ono, Vik Muniz, Maurizio Cattelan, and Marina Abramović, among many more. It is one of only two still remaining out of a 1994 Vanity Fair list of 10 "upstart" magazines to watch, alongside Surface.^[5]"

Please remove the advertisement warning as this listing is factual and cited with proper sources. It has been edited to read with a neutral tone, yet this message has not been removed. 24.103.13.30 (talk) 15:27, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: I disagree that the article is not promotional. The lead sentence states that Visionaire "curates art fashion luxury experiences". This is marketing jargon that means nothing to the casual reader. This is just one example; marketing/promotional jargon is spattered throughout the article. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 16:24, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The advertisement template is entirely appropriate, and the edit warring to remove it is exactly what caused the article to be protected. The article needs to be rolled back many months to remove the advertising. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 20:12, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
