Galerie Zlotowski

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a bit tricky. My main gripe with this article is that is misrepresents the significance of the gallery by overstating "representation". The first artist listed in the section that is introduced by "Artists who are represented or shown by the gallery include, among others:" is Jean Arp. Now, the Tauber-Arp estate which holds the copyright of Jean Arp and Sophie Tauber-Arp is represented by Hauser & Wirth. (That IS a big deal, mostly because Tauber-Arp's work is so undervalued) And while you probably can buy an Arp at Zlotowski (http://www.galeriezlotowski.fr/fr/artists/jean-arp/), they don't represent his estate. Same for Louise Bourgeois (also H&W), Sol LeWitt (Pace) etc. Notability of a gallery is not established by what the gallery sells, but by how much coverage it has received in independent, reliable sources, and one of the most important aspect of a gallery's operations is its relationships with the artists; if it is a gallery that operates on the "primary market" it helps to build artist's careers and creates a market for the work. This gallery operates in the "secondary market"; it has not relationship with the artists at all, and sells work for which a market already exists. And of course, even for galleries that operate on the secondary market, the GNG still applies, but I see only one source that provides significant coverage: https://daily.artnewspaper.fr/articles/avant-premiere-robert-michel-et-ella-bergmann-michel-en-vedette-a-art-basel. http://www.galeriezlotowski.fr/events/presse/ has a list, but I don't see WP:SIGCOV there either.

 * I feel like a gallery in Paris should be able to be able to be merged into a list article on galleries in Paris. BD2412  T 01:52, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete a secondary market gallery that fails NCORP. There is no SIGCOV. Theredproject (talk) 23:06, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete as failing WP:NCORP and WP:GNG there is no in-depth coverage of the subject in independent RS, the sources are nothing more than passing mentions, what's-on articles and announcements. --Dom from Paris (talk) 09:45, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability isn't inherited, references fail the criteria for establishing notability, topic fails GNG/WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 16:15, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
