Christopher Grimes Gallery

Nominating this for deletion for two reasons. First and foremost, this article is almost entirely an advertisement written by the subject of the article such that it has significant COI and NPOV problems. Second, even aside from these issues, I am also skeptical that this has been the subject of significant coverage such that it meets the notability requirement. Searches turned up articles about artists that exhibited at the gallery but not significant coverage about the gallery itself. For both reasons, I think this page should be deleted.

 * Delete: As has been the case with other articles on art spaces, it is difficult to demonstrate their notability even with a long history of events and participating artists from whom notability is not inherited. In this case, the gallery's role can be confirmed in various reviews and notices, but about the artists and exhibits rather than the gallery; the best that I have found is a two paragraph section in a Los Angeles Magazine article covering various galleries (which I added as a reference). There is also an audio interview with the founder about this and his other projects . Overall, though, not enough for WP:NCORP. AllyD (talk) 16:48, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:SIGCOV and WP:NOTINHERITED. According to the LA Times article, it was up and coming 23 years ago. Bearian (talk) 22:09, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
