In the Germany-related deletion discussions Marek Claassen identified himself as being the author Galerie 10243. It is self-promotion. Also comparing himself with Hans Neuendorf is a bit to much. Neuendorf founded one of the most important post-war galleries and is the co-founder of Art Cologne. --Bouba20k (talk) 17:21, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
