Untitled
The information on this page is based on the website of the Museum, the website of the Municipality of Chianciano, and website of the tourism promotion agency of Chianciano. Most the contents of the page were made by myself, and I work for the Museum. I have endeavoured to be impartial. Francescogagliardi (talk) 18:08, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
At least one major contributor to this article appears to have a close personal or professional connection to the topic, and thus to have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting request edit (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted.

Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Biennale di Chianciano
Despite all the puffery, the biennale of Chianciano is not a particularly important event – it's an exhibition held at the museum. There's a march by the town band, flag-waving by the flag-waving club, a concert by the town choir. As such, it could easily be covered in a section of this article.

Proposed merge with Roberto Gagliardi
The museum seems to Gagliardi's only notable achievement; nine of the ten sources in the page on him are about the museum and its activities. There's not one source with in-depth coverage of Gagliardi himself; nor does searching reveal any. The AfD closed as "no consensus"; merging seems a reasonable alternative to a second deletion discussion. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:51, 20 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Roberto Gagliardi did found the Chianciano Art Museum but he also founded the Gagliardi Gallery in London 40 years ago on the King's Road in Chelsea. He also founded the London Art Biennale which is an international exhibition. Recently he transformed the old part of the 12th Century town of Chianciano Terme into more exhibits. I think that he should be mentioned on the Chianciano Art Museum's page but people are interested in the other aspects as they are relevant too. Art Critic Luciano Lepri writes a nice summary in Italian about Gagliardi's transition from an entrepreneur to art personality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.62.18.110 (talk) 18:03, 27 April 2016 (UTC)


 * oppose after reading the above comment, I ran a news archive search on "Gagliardi Gallery". There was significant coverage of this gallery back in the day.  Therefore merging is inappropriate.  Article needs expansion, sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:18, 31 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Note that Merger was proposed in April, but not hatnoted until September.
 * No,, that is . The merge tag was removed on 1 September with , and restored the next day. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:18, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Huh? I know it wasn't at Roberto Gagliardi when you directed me here from that talk page.  I looked back and now see that it had been removed by an editor on the not unreasonable grounds that it had gone stale.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:27, 6 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Support. Gagliardi has no significant notability or coverage outside the museum. This is a no-brainer. Softlavender (talk) 00:09, 2 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment The IP is from that area in Italy and seems to be Gagliardi himself or an associate, as their only edits have been on that article. Therefore that !vote should be discounted. Softlavender (talk) 00:11, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I do not see this as a "no brainer". Having re-read the sourcing on both pages, I firmly oppose this merge.  Both the museum and Roberto Gagliardi are notable, and I have added sources to the page Roberto Gagliardi.  I do confess to genuine puzzlement about why 2 editors are so aggressive about this, despite the relatively strong sourcing of both articles, and additional sources available in the Italian press.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:17, 2 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Support There is literally nothing to show that the subject is independently notable. This articles also seems to be used for promotion anyway. A redirect is appropriate here. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 18:19, 6 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Oppose: New York Times article focussing on Roberto Gagliardi (not just the museum) seems to support indepdentent notability, in addition to the above arguments. His London Gallery also seems to be quite active. So, I recommend keeping the article separate. Klbrain (talk) 17:37, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Closing, given the lack of consensus over 2 years and no response to my last contribution in over a month. Klbrain (talk) 12:50, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
