Art Renewal Center

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article had been deleted as a PROD but restored. Although technically an explanation for contesting a PROD is not required, this had been deleted and then restored pretty much verbatim. I feel a discussion at AfD is necessary. Notability has been an issue for some time and there are no third-party references to establish notability. After this time, it appears that no third-party references are available and notability has not been established.  freshacconci  speak to me  22:56, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. I've done a search and posted sources on Talk:Art Renewal Center. There are enough to justify retaining the article.  Ty  01:32, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. As Ty's sources demonstrate, the Art Renewal Center is frequently mentioned as the one the most prominent advocates of its unpopular views on modern art.  It has also garnered notice for its impressive "online museum", and I've added a reliable third-party source to the article, a review from the Intute:Arts and Humanities database (a project with support from Oxford and the Arts & Humanities Research Council, among other relevant organizations).--ragesoss (talk) 15:52, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
