The Coven (art collective)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Most sourcing leads to a tumblr site. A general search returns nothing. GNG fail. This came to my attention via a question at the Teahouse as to whether or not this group is notable. It's not.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:41, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm amazed that you found those. Out of curiosity, what search phrase did you use? I came up with noting in a search. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:54, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete I worked at tidying this in 2016 and had my doubts then. Nothing since has persuaded me this is a notable topic, not least that almost all the refs are from the groups itself. Emeraude (talk) 08:42, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as far as I can tell, the existed for about four years, from 2012 to mid-2017. In that time, they have operated a tumblr site, https://the-coven.tumblr.com/ and an instagram account, https://www.instagram.com/thecovenartcollective/.  They created a risographed tarot deck, launched at a one-day event, at the (now defunct) Dye House gallery in London, for which we have two sources.  They produced a book, PINKD for which we also have a source (dazed). I've found an article on a show they had at Glass Door in Montreal,  I have not found sources that covert The Coven's first show in London 2014 at Gal Gallery, nor have I found anything for their "We, others" exhibition at POPOP gallery in Montreal. I also could not find anything that discusses their zines. I don't think there is sufficient coverage in independent, reliable sources to sustain an article about them.
