Beat Kids Gallery

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

This article is about an on-line art gallery. I originally tagged it for speedy deletion but the author added references so I decided it send it for AfD instead. The problem is that it is a purely on-line gallery and there are no RS references. The gallery has some publications but it seems that they are self-published. Each reference is either the gallery itself or a blog. Googling for the artist (Adam Gillespie) or the gallery produces a lot of social networking but nothing RS on the first few pages. Google News and Scholar are no better. The author has made a statement about why he thinks the article should be kept on Talk:Beat Kids Gallery. While I appreciate that he has done his best to meet the requirements I simply can't see notability or full verifiability. DanielRigal (talk) 02:09, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep (for now). The article just got started, give it time to be fleshed out.  Granted, it probably should have been sandboxed on the users pages, but more eyes may help too.  Looks like some publication will be coming out shortly.  If it's not improved in 3 months - then AfD again.  Wikipedia has no timelimit.  There is an essay here that talks about this.  Yes I know it's not policy or even guidelines, but it's a suggestion. — Ched (talk) 03:33, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The article has potential but there aren't any reliable sources to reference the article. Cunard (talk) 06:30, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Although I would have liked to rescue this article, this art gallery is non-notable. A Google search and a Google News Archive search returns few reliable sources which can be used to source the article. Thus, this gallery fails the general notable guidelines and WP:V. The artist, Adam Gillsepie, doesn't even have an article on Wikipedia. Perhaps the author can move this information to his/her website or blog. Cunard (talk) 06:30, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
