Talk:Belgrave St Ives

Notability
There are generally sources available that haven't been added to this article, which needs improvement to show WP:GNG compliance. A Guy into Books (talk) 08:38, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello A Guy into Books -- You make two arguments for the notability of this subject: (1) That it is like Harrods, and (2) that there exist good references that have not yet been put into the article. As to the first, I cannot comment. As to the second, I find that a common and weak argument as to why an article should not be deleted.

A subject company or shop does not inherit notability from its subsidiaries, shareholders, or its products. I interpret that in the context of an art gallery as follows: Simply selling notable works does not make the gallery notable. If one can demonstrate that the gallery regularly discovers unknown artists, promotes them, and makes them successful, then it, the gallery is notable. Insofar as St Ives specializes in Modern British and Contemporary Art, it should be doing just that. WP:GNG is a guideline, a suggestion that needs to be interpreted in the context of the situation.

 * Yes I agree. I have included the sources available on the web - they are probably not good enough so far to pass WP:GNG. "the gallery regularly discovers unknown artists..." now I know St Ives has a number of galleries which do this, they are interlinked and connected to the St Ives Tate, and it appears this is one of them, however I can't find any WP:RS sources to show this, so it is just original research. Part of the problem with the article is it only focuses on 'notable' exhibitions from people such as Sir Terry Frost. I don't know the gallery, however I think the West Briton and some specialist publications may be able to verify some of these details. A Guy into Books (talk) 12:19, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
