In addition to quite probably being an advertisement written by a rep of the gallery itself, the gallery does not seem noteworthy. Marked for speedy under CSD A7. Ninjasaves (talk.stalk) 23:26, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To explain the reason not to delete the page "Hosfelt gallery" - we are an art gallery representing a large number of internationally-acclaimed artists. We intend to create pages for each of the artists we represent who have achieved a substantial amount of recognition in the art world, through museum exhibitions and collections, and critical reviews. These artists also show with other galleries around the world and we will include that documentation in their pages.

As a point of context, see the "Matthew Marks Gallery" page - we plan to structure ours in a similar way.

Then this would appear to be a serious WP:COI issue, a gallery writing about itself and creating encyclopedia pages about its artists. JNW (talk) 05:00, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can Action Be Taken On This Article?

Can action be taken on this article one way or another? WP:COI issues should prevent the original author from editing. It should be either overhauled (though it probably fails to meet notability requirements), or PRODed. --Ninjasaves (talk.stalk) 02:53, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
