Appears to be an artist's resume and advertisement for her gallery. 50% of references are broken, and the remainder are free ads about the Lynn Richardson Gallery, "Inter-Glacial Free Trade" I B d Shank (Talk Talk) 06:52, 10 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - this is a notable artist working in Canada. I have cleaned up the article and added (with no difficulty) some of the critical reception of Richardson's work. And removed the dead links. Notability is not judged by the state of an article but by the availability of sources (online or not). The external links go to a range of places; 'Inter-Glacial Free Trade' was an exhibition, not a gallery, and it travelled to different places over many months; it is appropriate for an article on an artist to include a link to the artist's own website for more detailed information and photographs.

 * Great! Thanks Chiswick.  It was on a Bot's hit list, so I reviewed the article, not the artist.  I will remove the templates.  Things break so quickly on the internet, it appears the Wiki will forever be dynamic. --I B d Shank (Talk Talk) 19:26, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. The tone of the article is promotional, but with coverage in the Toronto Star and Border Crossings, plus a significant exhibition record, this easily passes WP:ARTIST and WP:GNG.  freshacconci  talk talk  18:23, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
