Delete as organization of unclear notability. only results in 2 pages. References supplied by author are all of local newspapers. Contested prod. ... disco spinster   talk  14:01, 16 January 2008 (UTC) There are alot of well known artists that shared knowledge and friendship, and they deserve an opportunity and time to add to this article. The more people from Artworlds past that have a chance to contribute to this article the better it will become. Just give it a chance to blossom. Not everyone with interesting facts are journalists.--Rawhide ranch (talk) 04:17, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The following was added to the article, and I think it shouldbe seen as a keep vote by the articles creator:
 * Delete The sources supplied in the article do not seem to add up to significant coverage. Without any other sources to attest notability, I'm afraid this article does not meet the inclusion criteria. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 16:50, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - correlating the text of the article to the inline citations, these references apepar to be simply event annoucements in a local paper and would not constitute the type of coverage needed to indicate notability -- Whpq (talk) 17:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment The notability of this organization is that numorous artists all converged at the same time at one location, Artworlds, taking classes, instructing classes, becoming colleagues and friends. Researching these people, who are today well-known in their careers, it is fascinating to think of them together at Artworlds when many of them were just starting out. There must have been a strongly nourishing environment at Artworlds to have played a part in the formative years of so many career artists. Such influence makes Artworlds a notable organization. There actually are more credible references than local news papers alone. They are found when one looks into the links to web sites in this article, for example, the Artworlds instructor named Suheyla who taught belly dancing. Here is her web site where she talks about teaching at Artworlds. --Rawhide ranch (talk) 05:29, 18 January 2008 (UTC)   http://www.troupetaamulat.org/founder.html
 * Reply - if this organisation was notable in the formative stages of the careers of all of these artists, then the notability would be established through coverage in reliable sources. I see no such coverage indicated in the references provided, nor in the references.  Also note that User:Rawhide ranch is the original editor of this article. -- Whpq (talk) 11:57, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
