Red Wing Framing Gallery

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears to fail WP:CORP. SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:51, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletion discussions.   --  fr33k  man   -s-  05:05, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - a total failure of notabiliy; what makes them any different from my local framing place?  fr33k man   -s-  05:06, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Author JBecker88 is probably proprietor John Becker or a family member, so fails WP:SPAM and WP:NOR . Most of the references included are to the company's own web site. Remaining references are mere mentions; they are about the exhibits, not the gallery itself. --Unconventional (talk) 06:31, 16 February 2009 (UTC) Update: The characterizations as spam/OR were unjustified, and I apologize. However, the article still fails notability. --Unconventional (talk) 04:12, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per fr33k Valley2 city ‽ 09:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Include I am jbecker88 and I am not John Becker. WP:SPAM discusses Wikipedia:Spam and advertisements masquerading as articles and external link spamming.  Neither apply to this entry.  No sales language is used.  It is simply a list of notable exhibits.  The references have been tightened up considerably to remove all self-referring references and now includes independent critical art reviews. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbecker88 (talk • contribs) 15:31, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No one is accusing the article of having been written in bad faith or as blatant advertising. We just don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's own notability requirements, spelled out at WP:CORP, and you have not addressed that concern.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 06:10, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - the multiple sources appear to confer some weak notability. Bearian (talk) 01:53, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
