Art Alive Art Gallery

Notability fail. I saw one or two brief sources that discuss the gallery itself. The vast majority of the sources in this refbombed article are about the artists showing there and not the gallery. Notability is not inherited. It might be worth noting that this was created by a now blocked undisclosed paid editor. --- Possibly (talk) 02:39, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep, seems to be a major art gallery in India, and has good sourcing. The category 'Contemporary art galleries in India' lists only four (this is one of only two in New Delhi), so Wikipedia is not overrun with pages about India art galleries, which implies that this one is an important venue for national and Asian artists.

 * whether or not we have article on something is not an indicator of notability. The sourcing here is about the artists and not about the gallery, by and large.--- Possibly (talk) 17:35, 14 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Draftify. Right now it's borderline WP:TNT. The formatting is a nightmare, the page is filled with trivia, and the sourcing is focused on the artists, rather than the exhibiter. Bearian (talk) 21:15, 17 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep Worth looking at notability criteria for subjects related to contemporary arts here . Notability of a contemporary art institution is met if the following standards are being followed (1) The scope of their activities is national or international in scale (2) Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple, third-party, independent, reliable sources. The artists hosted at the gallery are both national and international artists including Raghu Rai & Maite Delteil.


 * There are also sources talking about the gallery itself. The Culture Trip lists it as one of the Delhi’s best 10 Contemporary Art Galleries. So does Luxeva . I think it is natural for the media to write more about the activities of an art gallery rather than the gallery itself since the identity of the gallery is nothing but the reflection of the artists it would curate.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete I consider the references above essential PR. There is no indication that this gallery has shown any significant number of notable artists or held notable exhibitions  DGG ( talk ) 06:20, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep Many notable artists hosted such as Sakti Burman Maite Delteil Venkat Shyam Paresh Maity Raghu Rai The Singh Twins Thota Vaikuntam, Anjolie Ela Menon, Jatin Das (painter) etc Behind the moors (talk) 17:16, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a result of a paid for PR campaign, having hosted notable artists does not lend itself without adequate coverage. TAXIDICAE💰  19:03, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Evaluating the sources suggests it's borderline; there's a few sources I would consider solid enough that mention the gallery in more than passing, but I don't think there's significant coverage demonstrated overall. Notable artists don't transfer notability to the gallery. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs  talk 18:00, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
