@Randy Kryn, Matt14451, and 209.209.238.149: queried move request. Chapel of Sacred Mirrors was deleted 5 times, for spam and copyvio and "no content". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:26, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Conflicts of interest and primary sources[edit]

Conflict of interest[edit]

More than seven percent of the edits on this article are from Alexgreycosm (talk · contribs), who has referred to Alex Grey, the proprietor of the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors, in the first person in his edit summaries on Alex Grey.

Eight percent of edits on this article are from JonRHanna (talk · contribs), who is the author of one of the ten works referenced in this article, which, suspiciously, seems flattering and is not linked.

But neither has edited the article since 2015 so you're a bit late to the party, aren't you? Skyerise (talk) 23:40, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Primary sources[edit]

Works by Grey himself are cited at least four times in this article. The CoSM's website is cited three times. Another citation is to their own Kickstarter campaign. That means at least half of the references are to primary sources. The remaining citations would be very difficult to verify because they are not linked, are dead links and/or are not properly formatted. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 22:58, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The subject is notable and has been reported on by The New York Times. It seems unfortunate that the titles of the articles were not included here... Skyerise (talk) 23:40, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Denniscabrams: This problem has been corrected. 6 of 8 sources are now independent of the subject, and 5 additional but as yet unused independent sources are listed as further reading, including recent New York Times and Rolling Stone articles. Skyerise (talk) 00:52, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
