Yet another art gallery that conducts the ordinary routine business of marketing works of art but is not sufficiently notable to pass WP:NCORP. Article created by an apparently COI or UPE SPA (only other creation is a page on Vicente Grondona, who had a show at Maddox Arts in 2010). The gallery, predictably, gets a number of mentions (about 21) on Gnews – it exhibits works for sale, and some of the artists are notable enough to attract the attention of the press; there are a handful of verifiable hits on Gbooks. It gets one hit on JSTOR, for a listing in the "Calendar" section of an issue of the Burlington Magazine of a show of sculptures by Simon Hitchens in 2008. I can find no in-depth coverage at all.

NB: this is not the Maddox Gallery, a rather better-known establishment on which we have already decided not to have a page. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:34, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No substantive sources to establish notability. Reywas92^Talk 21:51, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The gallery represents

In addition to the lack of sources, the gallery's roster does little to nothing to establish notability. Vexations (talk) 12:53, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete notability of the artists (which is not high here, as shown above) is not inherited by the gallery. Inadequate sourcing to establish notability on its own.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:54, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I am finding nothing better than passing mentions, which may verify this as an enterprise going about its business but are insufficient for WP:NCORP. AllyD (talk) 06:37, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
