 * Keep. A significant cultural institution at Tulane University in New Orleans, significant for both its connection to Newcomb Pottery and for more contemporary activities, as is described in the article.  The article needs wikification and pruning of of its purple prose and excessive detail (we don't need the names of the entire founding committee), and there's a bit of POV text about Tulane's controversial post-Katrina decision to close Newcomb College, but this is unquestionably a notable art institution: hundreds of hits at Google Books, hundreds of hits shown on the Times-Picayune website, and more in other sources shown at Google News.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 05:52, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Per the analysis by Arxiloxos, especially the collection of Newcomb Pottery, a very important part of the history of the American Arts and Crafts movement. Cullen328 (talk) 06:22, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
